The hardware statistics counters are not cleared during resets so the drivers first access is to initialize the baseline and then subsequent reads are for reporting the counters. The statistics counters are read during the watchdog subtask when the interface is up. If the baseline is not initialized before the interface is up, then there can be a brief window in which some traffic can be transmitted/received before the initial baseline reading takes place. Directly initialize ethtool statistics in driver open so the baseline will be initialized when the interface is up, and any dropped packets incremented before the interface is up won't be reported.
