If i understand you comment to a previous version, the problem here is
STATS_TYPE_PORT. You are falling back to MDIO for those three
statistics. The data sheet for the 6352 shows these statistics are
available at offset 129 and above in the RMU reply.

I looked through the datasheets i have. I don't have a full set, but
all that i have which include the RMU have these statistics at offset
129.

So i think you can remove the fallback to MDIO. That should then allow
you to have a fully independent implementation, making it much
cleaner.

Or do you see other problems i currently don't?
