Local fix
Problem summary
When a customer runs an application, such as fcstat to see link related information, he might notice Link Error Status Block (LESB) stats reported incorrectly.
Problem conclusion
According to the FC/FCoE standard, the Link Error Status Block (LESB) is different for FC HBAs as compared to FCoE HBAs. The solution is to incorporate and/or report the appropriate stats for the adapter (FC or FCoE). The specific solution involves, unionizing the fcph_lesb struct in fcph.h and associated LESB structs in the adapter driver header files to support both the FC and FCoE LESB stats. If it's a FC adapter, the FC LESB is collected and reported. If it's a FCoE adapter, the FCoE LESB stats are collected and reported. In case of the fcstat application, today, only the FC LESB stats are reported. So, additional driver change include not passing the FCoE LESB stats if the adapter is FCoE capable, so these stats will be forced to 0, instead of passing incorrect values.
Temporary fix
