Looks ok to me, but I have no saying over ethtool API. Actually I
don't even know whom to ask - the output of
./scripts/get_maintainer.pl net/core/ethtool.c is a bit overwhelming.
To avoid conflicts, there needs to be somebody out of us who takes
Eric's simplification, with Gustavo's Reported-by tag, and the 2
ethtool & taprio patches to avoid division by zero, and the printing
fix, and maybe do the same in cbs. Will you be the one? Should I?

Thanks,
