I'd be tempted to say why dont you wrap these scmi_log_stats() inside the
scmi_bad_message_trace() ... BUT in order to avoid an additional
conditional inside the scmi_bad_message_trace() you will need to somehow
remap the MSG_UNEXPECTED to ERR_MSG_UNEXPECTED inside scmi_bad_message_trace (lets say
with a local onstack array indexed by -err)...AND that would mean committing to keep
such mapping in-sync with the the above enum, so as to avoid that adding
a new definition into scmi_bad_msg BUT not to debug_stat_counters will
end up in a buffer overflow....so at the end probably better/safer to keep it
this way...

Thanks,
