Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH 1/2] ethtool: Add PHY type to ethtool get_drvinfo

From: PJ Waskiewicz <peter.p.waskiewicz.jr@...el.com>

Allow the PHY type to be passed from a driver to ethtool when
ethtool -i ethX is called.  With newer network cards having SFP
and SFP+ PHY cages, this information can be useful, especially
if the NIC supports hot-swapping of the PHY modules.
