Subject: ethtool-4.8.tar.gz checksum change

Hi,

It looks like the checksum of the following file has changed recently:
    https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/ethtool-4.8.tar.gz

Original checksum from around 23/10/2016:
    md5sum = 28c4a4d85c33f573c49ff6d81ec094fd
    sha256sum = 1bd82ebe3d41de1b7b0d8f4fb18a8e8466fba934c952bc5c5002836ffa8bb606

Current checksum:
    md5sum = 992eab97607c64b7848edfd37f23da22
    sha256sum = c8ea20b8d85898377ec130066008f9241ebcdd95ac85dbcc2d50b32fe2e2f934

Is this change intentional?

I've spotted this when doing an OpenEmbedded build, it's rejecting the
ethtool-4.8.tar.gz file as corrupted since the checksums do not match those
originally recorded.

Thanks,
Paul Barker
