Subject: [PATCH v4 net-next 00/10] net/ncsi: Add debugging functionality

This series supports NCSI debugging infrastructure by adding several
ethtool commands and one debugfs file. It was inspired by the reported
issues: No available package and channel are probed successfully.
Obviously, we don't have a debugging infrastructure for NCSI stack yet.

The first 3 patches, fixing some issues, aren't relevant to the
subject. I included them because I expect they can be merged beofre
the code for debugging infrastructure. PATCH[4,5,6,7] adds ethtool
commands to dump NCSI topology, channel information, HW statistics
and SW statistics. PATCH[8] adds debugfs entry /sys/kernel/debug/
ncsi/eth0/pkt, which sends NCSI command packet on write. The NCSI
response packet are dumped on read. PATCH[9,10] fix two issues
found by the debugging functionality.

Changelog
=========
v4:
   * Replace debugfs entries with ethtool commands                   (Dave)
   * Add ethtool commands to dump NCSI topology, channel info and
     HW statistics                                                   (Gavin)
v3:
   * Use pr_debug() instead of pr_warn() upon failure to create
     debugfs directory or file                                       (Joe Perches)
   * Use relative debugfs path/file names in debug messages in
     ncsi-debug.c                                                    (Joe Perches)
   * Use const specifier for @ncsi_pkt_handlers and @ranges          (Joe Perches)
   * Eliminate CONFIG_NET_NCSI_DEBUG ifdef's in *.c                  (Jakub Kicinski)
v2:
   * Use debugfs instead of procfs                                   (Joe Perches)
