Actually, the whole idea is to set bits in "supported" & " advertising"
bitmap fields part of the " struct ethtool_link_ksettings *cmd".

Mapping structure "hns3_link_mode_mapping hns3_lm_map" and its corresponding
Bit set macro HNS3_DRV_TO_ETHTOOL_CAPS() is exactly being used to
Map and populate these bits in the above 2 bitmaps.

Without above we would end up using below macros for each of the bits being
Set separately and will clog the hns3_get_link_ksettings() function something
similar to below:

static int hns3_get_link_ksettings(struct net_device *net_dev,
				   struct ethtool_link_ksettings *cmd)
{
    [....]
      <........un-necessary repetition of the macros.........>

      /* setting bit ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_100baseT_Full_BIT */
	ethtool_link_ksettings_add_link_mode(lk_ksettings, name,  
						     100baseT_Full);
      /* setting bit ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_1000baseT_Full_BIT */
	ethtool_link_ksettings_add_link_mode(lk_ksettings, name,
						     1000baseT_Full);
      /* setting bit ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_1000baseT_Full_BIT */
	ethtool_link_ksettings_add_link_mode(lk_ksettings, name,
						     10000baseT_Full);
    [....]
}

OR another solution could be just include all of above repetition
of macros as one single macros, for example Broadcom driver has
done the same:


static void bnxt_fw_to_ethtool_advertised_spds(struct bnxt_link_info *link_info,
				struct ethtool_link_ksettings *lk_ksettings)
{
    [....]

	if (link_info->autoneg & BNXT_AUTONEG_FLOW_CTRL)
		fw_pause = link_info->auto_pause_setting;

	BNXT_FW_TO_ETHTOOL_SPDS(fw_speeds, fw_pause, lk_ksettings, advertising);
}


#define BNXT_FW_TO_ETHTOOL_SPDS(fw_speeds, fw_pause, lk_ksettings, name)\
{									\
	if ((fw_speeds) & BNXT_LINK_SPEED_MSK_100MB)			\
		ethtool_link_ksettings_add_link_mode(lk_ksettings, name,\
						     100baseT_Full);	\
	if ((fw_speeds) & BNXT_LINK_SPEED_MSK_1GB)			\
		ethtool_link_ksettings_add_link_mode(lk_ksettings, name,\
						     1000baseT_Full);	\
	if ((fw_speeds) & BNXT_LINK_SPEED_MSK_10GB)			\
		ethtool_link_ksettings_add_link_mode(lk_ksettings, name,\
						     10000baseT_Full);	\
	if ((fw_speeds) & BNXT_LINK_SPEED_MSK_25GB)			\
		ethtool_link_ksettings_add_link_mode(lk_ksettings, name,\
						     25000baseCR_Full);	\
	if ((fw_speeds) & BNXT_LINK_SPEED_MSK_40GB)			\
		ethtool_link_ksettings_add_link_mode(lk_ksettings, name,\
						     40000baseCR4_Full);\
    [....]								\
}

We thought mapping macros like ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_*_BIT 
to our own internal macros like HNS3_LM_* using 

struct hns3_link_mode_mapping {
	u32 hns3_link_mode;
	u32 ethtool_link_mode;
};

1. Gives us control to set all these bits using the iterative loop.
   in macro HNS3_DRV_TO_ETHTOOL_CAPS()
2. Specifying the speed bit to be set becomes more cleaner and easier using
   below syntax. It is just an OR operation:

		supported_caps = HNS3_LM_BACKPLANE_BIT |
				     HNS3_LM_PAUSE_BIT |
			           HNS3_LM_AUTONEG_BIT |
                             HNS3_LM_40000BASELR4_FULL_BIT |
			           HNS3_LM_10000BASEKR_FULL_BIT | 
			           HNS3_LM_1000BASET_FULL_BIT |
                             HNS3_LM_100BASET_FULL_BIT |
			           HNS3_LM_100BASET_HALF_BIT |
                             HNS3_LM_10BASET_FULL_BIT |
			           HNS3_LM_10BASET_HALF_BIT;


We would like to retain this format. Hope this explanation is fine?
