If I didn't miss anything, the reset_stats knob wouldn't work.

Any read of statistics from that debugfs will trigger the call to
ocrdma_update_stats and it will call to ocrdma_mbx_rdma_stats(dev, false).

For write operations to that "reset_stats", there is call
to ocrdma_mbx_rdma_stats with second argument (reset) as true.

But it doesn't do much with that "reset" argument, except update of reset_stats.

git grep reset_stats drivers/infiniband/hw/ocrdma/* drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/
drivers/infiniband/hw/ocrdma/ocrdma.h:  struct ocrdma_stats reset_stats;
drivers/infiniband/hw/ocrdma/ocrdma_hw.c:               req->reset_stats = reset;
drivers/infiniband/hw/ocrdma/ocrdma_sli.h:      u8 reset_stats;
drivers/infiniband/hw/ocrdma/ocrdma_stats.c:    dev->reset_stats.type = OCRDMA_RESET_STATS;
drivers/infiniband/hw/ocrdma/ocrdma_stats.c:    dev->reset_stats.dev = dev;
drivers/infiniband/hw/ocrdma/ocrdma_stats.c:    if (!debugfs_create_file("reset_stats", S_IRUSR, dev->dir,
drivers/infiniband/hw/ocrdma/ocrdma_stats.c:                            &dev->reset_stats, &ocrdma_dbg_ops))
drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be_cmds.c:    req->cmd_params.params.reset_stats = 0;
drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be_cmds.h:    u8 reset_stats;
