That thing is perhaps overly complicated.
Maybe a static inline like below would be easier to read:

static inline u64
QEDE_TQSTATS_DATA(const struct qede_dev *edev,
		  int sindex, int tssid, int tcid)
{
	struct qede_tx_queue *txq = &edev->fp_array[tssid].txqs[tcid];
	size_t offset = qede_tqstats_arr[sindex].offset;

	return *(u64 *)((unsigned long)txq + offset);
}
