Subject: [PATCH] ethtool: remove mask for Auto in advertise section

From: Emil Tantilov <emil.s.tantilov@...el.com>

The mask for Auto in the advertise section is incorrect for any interface
that supports speeds > 1000Mbps. Since the description already states that
the mask can be a combination of the supported values it's probably better
to just remove it. 'Auto' was misleading anyway.
