Not that one, that's an old commit that was correct from functional
point of view (the only problem was that it sometimes triggered
a notification even when the value was not changed but that also happens
in other places).

A revert of commit 108a36d07c01 ("ethtool: Fix mod state of verbose
no_mask bitset") is already in net tree as commit 524515020f25 ("Revert
"ethtool: Fix mod state of verbose no_mask bitset"").
