Please add description of these attributes to ethtool-netlink.rst.

Also, it might make sense to gather all "test parameters" in one nest
that could used in both request and the final notification (pulse
amplitude would not be allowed in request, unless there is a device
which allows to configure it as well). The main results nest would be
left only for measured results.

This nest could also directly correspond to a structure so that you
could pass one pointer instead of four arguments in some of the helpers
above.

Please use NL_SET_ERR_MSG_ATTR() here and in the checks below (probably
except the "first > last" test).

Without an upper bound for step, there might be some nasty tricks with
first + step overflowing the u32 value range. I don't see an example
from the top of my head but I suspect syzkaller would invent something.
