All xstats names may be retrieved passing NULL ids. If a driver does not support getting names by IDs, the callback should return -ENOTSUP on attempt to use it. If so, the request is handled on ethdev layer by getting all names and filtering out requested only.
Since '-ENOTSUP' has special meaning (request ethdev layer fallback), I think it would be good to explicitly document this in the dev_ops comment.
