Sure, I can give a try. Could you please provide an example or guideline 
that I can use as a reference for proper alignment?

Our verification process is centered on confirming that the counter 
values are accurately populated within the ncsi_channel_stats struct, 
specifically in the ncsi_rsp_handler_gcps function. This verification is 
conducted using synthesized statistics, rather than actual data from a 
network card. Sure, I will provide NCSI packet capture showing the 
synthesized data used for testing by end of the day.
