Removed part is also valid. If both 'ids' & 'xstats_names' are NULL, API returns
number of all elements.

Addition part looks good.

The 'eth_dev_get_xstats_count()' API is flexible but it makes API unnecessarily
complex, not for this patch but for future perhaps we can update the API and it
can return error if either 'ids' or 'xstats_names' is NULL. Remove support to
get all elements or getting number of elements support, these already supported
by non _id version of API.


And as a note for future, if we ever consider updating these _by_id APIs, we can
consider making the parameter order same for both, currently it is:
"rte_eth_xstats_get_names_by_id(port_id, values, size, ids)"
"      rte_eth_xstats_get_by_id(port_id, ids, values, size)"

Update is good. But what do you think to make it exact same in the both APIs
('rte_eth_xstats_get_names_by_id()' & 'rte_eth_xstats_get_by_id()')? Since it is
used for same purpose and exact same way in both APIs, no need to have slightly
different description.

Same comment on making description similar in both APIs.

Also both 'ids' & 'values' being NULL returns number of all elements should be
addressed.
