Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 3/3] net: mscc: ocelot: issue a warning if stats are incorrectly ordered

Ocelot uses regmap_bulk_read() operations to efficiently read stats
registers. Currently the implementation relies on the stats layout to be
ordered to be most efficient.

Issue a warning if any future implementations happen to break this pattern.
