Sorry Andrew, would you mind doing one more quick spin? :( Apart from what Michal pointed out there is a new line added after ETHTOOL_A_TSINFO_MAX in patch 3 and removed in patch 4. More importantly we should not use the ENOTSUPP error code, AFAIU it's for NFS, it's not a standard error code and user space struggles to translate it with strerror(). Would you mind replacing all ENOTSUPPs with EOPNOTSUPPs?
