64 bit stats isn't implemented, but is that really necessary?
Anything else?
It seems like the driver doesn't need to be there anymore.

Joe, do you have such hardware that you are interested in getting
supported, or was that just to reduce the amount of drivers in staging?
I am really not clear about what happened to that entire product line,
and whether there is any interest in having anything supported these days...

No hardware. Just to reduce staging driver count.

Without hardware or a "real" maintainer, it shouldn't be moved.
Heck, if no one has the hardware, let's just delete the thing.

I do have one, and other colleagues have some too, but I am not heavily
using it, nor do I have many cycles to spend on that... sounds like we
could keep it in staging for another 6 months and see what happens then?

I'd have to locate the documentation first, and you would have to reply
to my patch series about DSA ;)

I don't have any patch series in my queue, sorry, so I have no idea what

You don't really? How about this patch series:
https://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg147917.html
and me asking you another time to provide feedback:

Argh, that stuff, yeah, that's in a different review queue, and is going
to take "real work" on my side to get through, which is why it hasn't
happened yet, sorry...
it's not lost.

Unfortunately, I am no longer with Broadcom and don't have access to these
boards anymore. This driver is for XLR, the next generation SoC called XLP
has a different on-chip network accelerator - and that driver is not available
publicly other than in FreeBSD[1]
