The current internal sja1105 driver API is optimized for retrieving many
statistics counters at once. But the switch does not do atomic snapshotting
for them anyway.
In case we start reporting the hardware port counters through
ndo_get_stats64 as well, not just ethtool, it would be good to be able
to read individual port counters and not all of them.
Additionally, since Arnd Bergmann's commit ae1804de93 ("dsa: sja1105:
dynamically allocate stats structure"), sja1105_get_ethtool_stats
allocates memory dynamically, since struct sja1105_port_status was
deemed to consume too much stack memory. That is not ideal.
The large structure is only needed because of the burst read.
If we read statistics one by one, we can consume less memory, and
we can avoid dynamic allocation.
Additionally, latency-sensitive interfaces such as PTP operations (for
phc2sys) might suffer if the SPI mutex is being held for too long, which
happens in the case of SPI burst reads. By reading counters one by one,
we give a chance for higher priority processes to preempt and take the
SPI bus mutex for accessing the PTP clock.

The queue levels are not counters, but instead they represent the
occupancy of the MAC TX queues. Having these in ethtool port counters is
not helpful, so remove them.

The addition of sja1105_port_status_ether structure into the
statistics causes the frame size to go over the warning limit:
drivers/net/dsa/sja1105/sja1105_ethtool.c:421:6: error: stack frame size of 1104 bytes in function 'sja1105_get_ethtool_stats' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than=]
Use dynamic allocation to avoid this.

It looks like the P/Q/R/S series supports some more counters,
generically named "Ethernet statistics counter", which we were not
printing. Add them.

The most commonly called function in the driver is long due for a
rename. The "packed" word is redundant (it doesn't make sense to
transfer an unpacked structure, since that is in CPU endianness yadda
yadda), and the "spi" word is also redundant since argument 2 of the
function is SPI_READ or SPI_WRITE.
As for the sja1105_spi_send_long_packed_buf function, it is only being
used from sja1105_spi.c, so remove its global prototype.
