In some situations the bnxt NetXtreme driver misreports network traffic statistics

4 fixes have been recommended by Broadcom to resolve this issue. The first ( b8056e8434b037fdab08158fea99ed7bc8ef3a74 bnxt_en: Fix accumulation of bp->net_stats_prev ) is already present via 5.4.44 linux-stable. This is nomination is for the 3 remaining patches.

These changes have been tested and OK'd by Oracle.

Michael Chan (3):
  bnxt_en: Store the running firmware version code.
  bnxt_en: Do not enable legacy TX push on older firmware.
  bnxt_en: Fix statistics counters issue during ifdown with older
    firmware.
