+	  Expose RX steering counters in debugfs to aid in debugging. For each VLAN
+	  or non VLAN interface, two hardware counters are added to the RX flow
+	  table: one for unicast and one for multicast.
+	  The counters counts the number of packets and bytes and exposes them in
+	  debugfs. Once can read the counters using, e.g.:
+	  cat /sys/kernel/debug/mlx5/mlx5_core.sf.1/vdpa-0/rx/untagged/ucast/packets
