Unless we can/want to pass extack down here, I would prefer to have the
sanity check in ethtool_update_linkmodes() or ethtool_set_linkmodes() so
that we can set meaningful error message and offending attribute in
extack. (It could be even part of the policy.) Also, with the check only
here, drivers/devices not calling phy_ethtool_set_link_ksettings()
(directly or via phy_ethtool_set_link_ksettings()) and not handling the
new members themselves would silently ignore any value from userspace.

Shouldn't we rather return -EOPNOTSUPP if value different from
CFG_UNKNOWN was requested?

You have "MASTER_SLAVE" or "master_slave" everywhere but "PORT_MODE" in
these constants which is inconsistent.

Should we really allow CFG_UNKNOWN in client requests? As far as I can
see, this value is handled as no-op which should be rather expressed by
absence of the attribute. Allowing the client to request a value,
keeping current one and returning 0 (success) is IMHO wrong.
Also, should this function be in UAPI header?

or STATE_UNKNOWN if driver or device does not support the feature at all
so it would be IMHO more appropriate to omit the attribute in such case.
