ES58x devices report below information in their usb product info

Parse this string, store the results in struct es58x_dev and create
three new sysfs entries.


will this be the /sys/class/net/XXX sysfs ?

We try to avoid adding device specific entries in there,

Couldn't you just squeeze the firmware and hw version into the ethtool->drvinfo->fw_version

something like: fw_version: %3u.%3u.%3u (%c.%3u.%3u)

and bootloader into ethtool->drvinfo->erom_version: * @erom_version: Expansion ROM version string; may be an empty string
