Implementation of more netlink request types:
- netdev features (ethtool -k/-K, patches 3-6)
- private flags (--show-priv-flags / --set-priv-flags, patches 7-9)
- ring sizes (ethtool -g/-G, patches 10-12)
- channel counts (ethtool -l/-L, patches 13-15)
Patch 1 is a style cleanup suggested in part 2 review and patch 2 updates
the mapping between netdev features and legacy ioctl requests (which are
still used by ethtool for backward compatibility).
Michal Kubecek (15):
ethtool: rename ethnl_parse_header() to ethnl_parse_header_dev_get()
ethtool: update mapping of features to legacy ioctl requests
ethtool: provide netdev features with FEATURES_GET request
ethtool: add ethnl_parse_bitset() helper
ethtool: set netdev features with FEATURES_SET request
ethtool: add FEATURES_NTF notification
ethtool: provide private flags with PRIVFLAGS_GET request
ethtool: set device private flags with PRIVFLAGS_SET request
ethtool: add PRIVFLAGS_NTF notification
ethtool: provide ring sizes with RINGS_GET request
ethtool: set device ring sizes with RINGS_SET request
ethtool: add RINGS_NTF notification
ethtool: provide channel counts with CHANNELS_GET request
ethtool: set device channel counts with CHANNELS_SET request
ethtool: add CHANNELS_NTF notification
