This is a bug which causes ocelot->stats to be overwritten with the
statistics of port 0, for all ports. Either move the variable
declaration and initialization with 0 in the larger scope (outside the
"for" loop), or initialize idx with i * ocelot->num_stats.

My analysis was slightly incorrect. Somehow I managed to fool myself
into thinking that you had tested this in a limited scenario, hence the
reason you didn't notice it's not working. But apparently you didn't
test with traffic at all.

So ocelot->stats isn't overwritten with the stats of port 0 for all
ports. But rather, all ports write into the ocelot->stats space
dedicated for port 0, effectively overwriting the stats of port 0 with
the stats of the last port. And no one populates the ocelot->stats space
for ports [1 .. last]. So no port has good statistics, I don't see a
circumstance where testing could have misled you.
