I pushed the combined series to

  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mkubecek/ethtool.git

as branch mk/master/advertise-all. I only ran few quick tests so far,
it's not submission ready yet.

First two patches are unrelated fixes found while testing, I'm going to
submit and push them separately. Third patch reworks nl_parser()
handling of multiple request messages as indicated in my previous mail.
Fourth patch is the ioctl compatibility fix.
