This seems like something which could be calculated once and then
stored away, e.g. next to stats_queue.

Thanks for adding the mutex in mvpp2_gather_hw_statistics(). However,
should we be holding the mutex while performing this copy? There is no
snapshot support, so the statistics are not guaranteed to be
consistent. However, since a statistics is a u64, it is possible the
copy will get the new lower 32 bits and the old 32 bits if the copy
happens while mvpp2_gather_hw_statistics() is running.

You allocate the memory using devm_. You should not use plain kfree()
on it. You might want to spend some time reading about devm_

I know Florian asked for unique names, which IDA will give you. But
could you derive the name from device tree? It then becomes a name you
can actually map back to the hardware, rather than being semi-random.

    Thanks
