Does this dovetail well with ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_STATE /
ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_SUBSTATE ?

That's where people who read extended link state out of FW put it
(and therefore it's read only now).

In case I'm just confused and this is different we should prolly
add a paragraph in docs to disambiguate.
