Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] ethtool, net/mlx4_en: RSS hash function selection

Hi,

This patchset by Eyal adds support in set/get of RSS hash function. Current
supported functions are Toeplitz and XOR. The API is design to enable adding
new hash functions without breaking backward compatibility.
If a driver want to use this API need to implement [gs]et_rxfh_func() callbacks
in ethtool_ops.
Userspace patch will be sent after API is available in kernel.

The patchset was applied and tested over commit 30349bd ("net: phy: spi_ks8995:
remove sysfs bin file by registered attribute")
