Stephen,
OK, so what should be the next step? How do we move forward with that?

The driver using this is not upstream. You need to get that driver reviewed and incorporated in upstream kernel before the changes to ethtool will be considered.

I expect that the driver will not be accepted as is, and therefore you will have to make changes (including API changes), that render this ethtool API moot.
