Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 0/2] virtio_net: add ethtool get/set settings support

From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@...ulusnetworks.com>

Hi,
Patch 1 adds ethtool speed/duplex validation functions which check if the
value is defined. Patch 2 adds support for ethtool (get|set)_settings and
uses the validation functions to check the user-supplied values.

v2: split in 2 patches to allow everyone to make use of the validation
functions and allow virtio_net devices to be half duplex
v3: added a check to return error if the user tries to change anything else
besides duplex/speed as per Michael's comment
v4: Set port type to PORT_OTHER
v5: clear diff1.port (ignore port) when checking for changes since we set
it now and ethtool uses it in the set request

Sorry about the pointless iterations, should've all covered now.

Cheers,
 Nik
