There is some kind of misunderstanding.

See include/linux/ethtool.h
[...]
struct ethtool_ops {
        int     (*get_settings)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_cmd *);
        int     (*set_settings)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_cmd *);
        void    (*get_drvinfo)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_drvinfo *);
        int     (*get_regs_len)(struct net_device *);
        void    (*get_regs)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_regs *, void *);

It should not even compile.
