Indeed, weird, why do we even bother counting them per AC?


Currently, tx_packets and tx_bytes are maintained per AC only in mac80211.
I'm not entirely sure why this per-AC tracking was introduced, as I
haven't come across a specific use case that justifies maintaining these
metrics separately per AC.

I also checked to see if there are any other parameters tracking
tx_packets and tx_bytes, but couldn't find any.

Would you like me to consolidate tx_packets and tx_bytes instead of
maintaining them per AC?
Or should we consider this change separately as different patch?

Let's say that's different and unrelated, maybe we had something
accessing it in the past.


Yes, there might be chances it was used before.

Shall I do this cleanup before this series something like cleanup to maintain consolidate data for tx_packets and tx_bytes as nowhere it is used per AC?
