Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/3] ethtool ringparam upper bound

Hi Dave,

This patchset by Jenny adds sanity checks in ethtool ringparam
operation for input upper bounds, similarly to what's done in
ethtool_set_channels.

The checks are added in patch 1, using a call to get_ringparam
prior to calling set_ringparam NDO.

Patch 2 changes the function's behavior in mlx4_en, so that
it returns an error for out-of-range input, instead of rounding
it to closest valid, similar to mlx5e.

Patch 3 removes the upper bound checks in mlx5e_ethtool_set_ringparam
as it becomes redundant.

Series generated against net-next commit:
f66faae2f80a Merge branch 'ipv6-ipv4-nexthop-align'

Thanks,
Tariq.
