[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/bnxt: fix to clear cached value of stats in clear stats

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/bnxt: fix to clear cached value of stats in clear stats

[Kalesh A P]

From: Kalesh AP <kalesh-anakkur.purayil@broadcom.com>

As part of the workaround put in the commit "219842b9990c",
driver caches the last read stats values from the hardware.
But this is not cleared during the clear stats operation. This
results in showing up stale stats values while reading the stats
after the clear operation.

Fixes: 219842b9990c ("net/bnxt: workaround spurious zero stats in Thor")
