Nothing you have explained is different than how I understand it.

You clearly haven't understood what I'm explaining, please read both
my messages over several times until you get it.

I will help you one last time.

User uses this command:

struct hwrm_port_qstats_input {
        __le16 req_type;
        __le16 cmpl_ring;
        __le16 seq_id;
        __le16 target_id;
        __le64 resp_addr;
        __le16 port_id;
        u8 flags;
        u8 unused_0[5];
        __le64 tx_stat_host_addr;
       __le64 rx_stat_host_addr;
};

It sends the command buffer with tx_stat_host_addr set to 0xBAD

It sets num_dma = 0.

Explain what happens.
