I'm not convinced that this is a particularly useful option, but I won't
object.  But please document this as an optional driver behaviour in
<linux/ethtool.h>, and add support for this in the ethtool command (e.g.
a 'reset' or 'default' keyword).

A modulo operation might make more sense.  But I don't suppose this
failure is going to happen often enough for it to be important.

Should be -EOPNOTSUPP.

Why?  You do handle !netif_running() below...

-EOPNOTSUPP

This is enough to make the ethtool command work, but you're really
supposed to copy min(indir->size, TG3_RSS_INDIR_TBL_SIZE) entries.

This function looks fine.
