Subject: Re: [PATCHv4 2/7] ethtool: Call ethtool's get/set_settings callbacks
 with cleaned data

Hi,

Stanislaw, as Ben mentions, it's calling phy_ethtool_sset() which is
certainly meant to be an ETHTOOL_SSET op (from its name and comments)
even though its current implementation doesn't actually care for the
value of the cmd field.

Regards,
