Because you do it this way:

tfrc_rx_hist_swap(&TFRC_RX_HIST_ENTRY(h, 0), &TFRC_RX_HIST_ENTRY(h, 3));

I checked and at least in this patch series all uses are of this type,
so why not do it using just the indexes, which would be simpler:

tfrc_rx_hist_swap(h, 0, 3);

With this implementation:

static void tfrc_rx_hist_swap(struct tfrc_rx_hist *h, const int a, const int b)
{
	const int idx_a = tfrc_rx_hist_index(h, a),
	      int idx_b = tfrc_rx_hist_index(h, b);
	struct tfrc_rx_hist_entry *tmp = h->ring[idx_a];

	h->ring[idx_a] = h->ring[idx_b];
	h->ring[idx_b] = tmp;
}
