I was thinking about the MIB counters, maintained by the switch, on the CPU
port(s). 

On this picture:

+-----------+       +--------------------+
|           | RGMII |                    |
|       eth0+-------+ P0              P1 +------ 1000baseT MDI ("WAN")
|        wan|       |      7-port     P2 +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN1")
|   CPU     |       |      ethernet   P3 +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN2")
|           | RGMII |      switch     P4 +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN3")
|       eth1+-------+ P6   w/5 PHYs   P5 +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN4")
|        lan|       |                    |
+-----------+       +--------------------+
          |     MDIO   |
          \------------/

We can see MIB stats of P1/P2/P3/P4/P5 by using ethtool -S. But as CPU
ports don't have a net_device, there isn't a way to access MIB stats of
P0 & P6.

If we have the eth0 <--> P0 and eth1 <--> P6 relationship information in dts,
we could use it to lookup which switch port is connected to this net_dev and
show the corresponding counters when running "ethtool -S ethN".
