OK, but then to avoid double counting ptp, I suppose we don't
output ptp stats in base and only when the correct txq_ix is passed
in to the tx stats function which refers to the PTP queue?

It's either that or we dont include ptp's sqstats in the
txq2sq_stats mapping you've proposed, if I understand correctly.
