Why do you need to store the values here in struct tc_cls_flower_offload?
Why don't you just call tcf_exts_stats_update()? Basically,
tc_cls_flower_stats_update() should be just wrapper around
tcf_exts_stats_update() so that drivers wouldn't use ->exts directly, as
you will remove them in follow-up patches, no?
Patch 07/12 stops exposing tc action exts to drivers, so we need a
structure (struct tc_cls_flower_stats) to convey this statistics back
to the cls_flower frontend.
Hmm, shouldn't these stats be rather flow_rule related than flower
related?
I can rename tc_cls_flower_stats to struct flow_stats and place this
in include/net/flow.h, given flow_rule is unset / not present from the
TC_CLSFLOWER_STATS path.

Thanks for reviewing!
