Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ethtool: Add --phy_pkt_gen command
This command is used to cause the PHY to generate packets. The count
of packets must always be given. Optionally, the length of the packet,
if the packet should contain random or fixed data, if errored packets should
be sent and the inter packet gap can be configured. However not all PHYs
are expected to support all options.
