net: provide a default dev->ethtool_ops
wireless core does not correctly assign ethtool_ops.
After alloc_netdev*() call, some cfg80211 drivers provide they own
ethtool_ops, but some do not. For them, wireless core provide generic
cfg80211_ethtool_ops, which is assigned in NETDEV_REGISTER notify call:
if (!dev->ethtool_ops)
dev->ethtool_ops = &cfg80211_ethtool_ops;
But after Eric's commit, dev->ethtool_ops is no longer NULL (on cfg80211
drivers without custom ethtool_ops), but points to &default_ethtool_ops.
In order to fix the problem, provide function which will overwrite
default_ethtool_ops and use it by wireless core.

Thanks, I was not aware of this bundle. In this case assuming
this goes into v3.7.5 this is being backported with special handling
between 3.7.0 and 3.7.5 as follows onto compat.
From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <[email protected]>
Subject: [PATCH] compat: backport netdev_set_default_ethtool_ops()
Stanislaw found that due to commit 2c60db03 by Eric Dumazet
the wireless core was not assigning driver specific ethtool_ops.
This was fixed by Stanislaw's commit d07d7507 which added
netdev_set_default_ethtool_ops(). Since Eric's commit 2c60db03
is on v3.7-rc1 Stanislaw's fix is required down to v3.7 as well.
The d07d7507 commit is currently present on v3.8-rc4 and is on
its way to what we think may be v3.7.5. Because of this kernels
older than v3.7.5 will require the full implementation while
older kernels than v3.7.0 will require just assigning the ops
passed only if netdev has no ops already set just as we used
to have it implemented on cfg80211.

Hmm, this link does not work for me (need user/password).
Anyway, I marked cc -stable in v2 patch, but forgot that in v3.
Committed patch does not include the mark, so I'll post patch
to stable just in case.
Thanks
Stanislaw
It's queued up for -stable already as is clearly seen at:

Stanislaw, I see Eric's patch went in on v3.7-rc1 as such I suspect
this needs to be submitted as a stable fix for v3.7.5. Its already on
v3.8-rc4.

You just need to make a patchwork login, it's visible to any

Do NOT DO THIS, I do the submissions myself, by hand.
