I get that this is separate from the loop above because it's
discontiguous, but is it also missing the validity check? I mean,
lane_count == 3 means 'fsvo 3 which may be 1 or 2' so have to check
SCDC_CHANNEL_VALID there, but if we have 4 lanes explicitly specified
then we are we missing the check for the valid bit, or is it just
always valid / we shouldn't check?

tbh having it separately is a bit messy. I half-wonder if unrolling
the loop wouldn't be cleaner, e.g.:
#define GET_SCDC_ERR_CNT(c) { \
        bool valid = (buf[(c) * 2 + 1] & SCDC_CHANNEL_VALID; \
        if (valid) {  \
                counter[c] = buf[ERR_DET_OFF(SCDC_ERR_DET_ ##x _L)]; \
                counter[c] |= (buf[ERR_DET_OFF(SCDC_ERR_DET_ ##x _H)]
& ~SCDC_CHANNEL_VALID) << 8; \
        } else {
                counter[c] = 0;
        } \
}

GET_SCDC_ERR_CNT(0);
GET_SCDC_ERR_CNT(1);
GET_SCDC_ERR_CNT(2);
if (num_lanes == 4)
        GET_SCDC_ERR_CNT(3);
else
        counter[3] = 0;

Up to you though. It's a messy format, with no objectively great solution.

With or without that suggestion, series is:
