This is for patch #3. The patch #3 would use this function.
The unit of the relative setting from the ethtool is 1 us.
However, the unit for the hw is 8 us. Therefore, I save the
value with the unit of 1 us, and transfer it to the unit of
the hw when setting.

If I replace dev->mtu with tp->netdev->mtu, the line would
more than 80 characters. This is used to avoid it. Should
I remove it?

This is for patch #2. The patch #2 would use this function.
It has to be re-calculated when the mtu is changed, or the
function is called when the linking status changes to ON.

Excuse me. I don't understand what you mean.
The usb speed is determined when the device is plugged on
the usb host controller or usb hub. The usb speed wouldn't
chage unless you unplug the device and plug it to another
port with different usb speed. Therefore, I provide different
default values for different usb speed.

Hayes
