This is a bug which causes ocelot->stats to be overwritten with the
statistics of port 0, for all ports. Either move the variable
declaration and initialization with 0 in the larger scope (outside the
"for" loop), or initialize idx with i * ocelot->num_stats.

I'd prefer if you reduce the apparent complexity of this logic by
creating some temporary variables:

u64 *stat = &ocelot->stats[idx + j];
u64 val = region->buf[j];

Please, as a separate change, introduce a function that reads the
statistics for a single port, and make ethtool call that and not the
entire port array, it's pointless.

and here, in the unseen part of the context, lies:

/* Copy all counters */
for (i = 0; i < ocelot->num_stats; i++)
*data++ = ocelot->stats[port * ocelot->num_stats + i];

I think this is buggy, because this is a reader of ocelot->stats which
is not protected by ocelot->stats_lock (it was taken and dropped by
ocelot_update_stats). But a second ocelot_update_stats() can run
concurrently with ethtool and ruin the day, modifying the array at the
same time as it's being read out.

The new function that you introduce, for reading the stats of a single
port, should require that ocelot->stats_lock is already held, and you
should hold it from top-level (ocelot_get_ethtool_stats).
