There is a desire to share the oclot_stats_layout struct outside of the current vsc7514 driver. In order to do so, the length of the array needs to be known at compile time, and defined in the struct ocelot and struct felix_info. Since the array is defined in a .c file and would be declared in the header file via: extern struct ocelot_stat_layout[]; the size of the array will not be known at compile time to outside modules. To fix this, remove the need for defining the number of stats at compile time and allow this number to be determined at initialization.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
