Subject: [PATCH ethtool] ethtool: Support for FEC encoding control

From: Dustin Byford <dustin@...ulusnetworks.com>

As FEC settings and different FEC modes are mandatory
and configurable across various interfaces of 25G/50G/100G/40G,
the lack of FEC encoding control and reporting today is a source
for interoperability issues for many vendors

set-fec/show-fec option(s) are designed to provide control and report
the FEC encoding on the link.

$ethtool --set-fec swp1 encoding [off | RS | BaseR | auto]

Encoding: Types of encoding
Off    :  Turning off FEC
RS     :  Force RS-FEC encoding
BaseR  :  Force BaseR encoding
Auto   :  Default FEC settings for drivers, and would represent
          asking the hardware to essentially go into a best effort mode.

Here are a few examples of what we would expect if encoding=auto:
- if autoneg is on, we are  expecting FEC to be negotiated as on or off
  as long as protocol supports it
- if the hardware is capable of detecting the FEC encoding on it's
  receiver it will reconfigure its encoder to match
- in absence of the above, the configuration would be set to IEEE
  defaults.

>From our understanding, this is essentially what most hardware/driver
combinations are doing today in the absence of a way for users to
control the behavior.

$ethtool --show-fec  swp1

FEC encodings:  RS
