Hey...

Thanks for the patch! Unfortunately for you, I just merged "[PATCH
ethtool v3 01/25] move UAPI header copies to a separate directory"
from Michal Kubecek <mkubecek@...e.cz>, and that patch did this:

 ethtool-copy.h => uapi/linux/ethtool.h       | 0
 rename ethtool-copy.h => uapi/linux/ethtool.h (100%)

Could you please rework your patch against the current kernel.org tree?

Thanks!

John
