[PATCH net-next v4 05/13] net: ethtool: Allow passing a phy index for some commands
From: Maxime Chevallier
Date: Fri Dec 15 2023 - 12:22:49 EST
Some netlink commands are target towards ethernet PHYs, to control some
of their features. As there's several such commands, add the ability to
pass a PHY index in the ethnl request, which will populate the generic
ethnl_req_info with the relevant phydev when the command targets a PHY.
