I agree that get_base should include all inactive queues stats.
But it's not straight forward to implement.

A few guiding points:

Use mlx5e_get_dcb_num_tc(params) for current num_tc.

txq_ix (within the real_num_tx_queues) is calculated by c->ix + tc * 
params->num_channels.

The txqsq stats struct is chosen by channel_stats[c->ix]->sq[tc].

It means, in the base stats you should include SQ stats for:
1. all SQs of non-active channels, i.e. ch in [params.num_channels, 
priv->stats_nch), tc in [0, priv->max_opened_tc).
2. all SQs of non-active TCs in active channels [0, 
params.num_channels), tc in [mlx5e_get_dcb_num_tc(params), 
priv->max_opened_tc).

Now I actually see that the patch has issues in mlx5e_get_queue_stats_tx.
You should not loop over all TCs of channel index i.
You must do a reverse mapping from "i" to the pair/tuple [ch_ix, tc], 
and then access a single TXQ stats by priv->channel_stats[ch_ix].sq[tc].
