Right. And while we're at it, there's still the potential
division-by-zero problem which I still don't know how to solve without
implementing a full-blown __ethtool_get_link_ksettings parser that
checks against all the possible outputs it can have under the "no
carrier" condition - see "[RFC PATCH 1/1] phylink: Set speed to
SPEED_UNKNOWN when there is no PHY connected" for details.
And there's also a third fix to be made: the netdev_dbg should be made
to print "speed" instead of "ecmd.base.speed".

Thanks,
