I am curious to know how HW stats only updating the packet count
interacts with SW stats also incrementing other values, such as the byte
count.

nit: As was pointed out to me recently it's simpler to declare
     count as follows and skip the memset entirely.
     No need to respin for this!

     struct vcap_counter count = {};

Also, not strictly related, but could you consider, as a favour to
reviewers, fixing the driver so that the following doesn't fail:

$ make drivers/net/ethernet/microchip/lan966x/lan966x_tc_flower.o
  DESCEND objtool
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
