Hi Abhinav,

I suspect this will now only report a failure if tail fails,
but ignore ethtool failures.

Shellcheck warns that the above reads words rather than lines,
and recommends using read instead.

I think that is ok, because the construction reduces lines to single words.
But it does seem a bit awkward to call grep, awk and sed for this.

I wonder if the following construction nicer:

while read -r FEATURE VALUE FIXED; do
	[ "$FEAT" != "Features" ] || continue # Skip "Features" line
	[ "$FIXED" != "[fixed]" ] || continue # Skip fixed features
	feature="${FEATURE%:*}"
	...
done < "$TMP_ETHTOOL_FEATURES"
