The driver might be less verbose if you added some braces here.

I'm not familiar with this hardware, but I suspect that these two flags
should probably not increment the collision counter.  These are errors
that result in the packet being dropped, so they should count as output
errors.  The hardware collision counter is probably incremented in these
cases, so incrementing if_collisions probably results in these types of
collisions being double counted.
