The decision whether to report serdes statistics currently depends on
the cached C_Mode value for the port, read at probe time or updated by
configuration. However, port 4 can be in "automedia" mode when it is
used as a serdes port, meaning it switches between the internal PHY and
the serdes, changing the read-only C_Mode value depending on which
first gains link. Consequently, the C_Mode value read at probe does not
accurately reflect whether the port has the serdes associated with it.

In "net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: add mv88e6352_g2_scratch_port_has_serdes()",
we added a way to read the hardware configuration to determine which
port has the serdes associated with it. Use this to determine which
port reports the serdes statistics.
