I see that ocelot->stats_layout has become a redundant indirection.
It no longer contains anything hardware-specific. The register offsets
are now part of the switch-specific sys_regmap.

Could you please refactor the code to use a single static const struct
ocelot_stats_layout in ocelot_stats.c, and remove felix->info->stats_layout
and ocelot->stats_layout?
