Ah, yes please.

Yes, to a separate helper.

Sorry maybe I quoted a little too much context form the patch.

A helper like this:

static int ethnl_check_linkmodes(...)
{
	const struct nlattr *master_slave_cfg;
	
	master_slave_cfg = tb[ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_MASTER_SLAVE_CFG];
	if (master_slave_cfg && 
	    !ethnl_validate_master_slave_cfg(nla_get_u8(master_slave_cfg))) {
		NL_SET_ERR_MSG_ATTR(info->extack, master_slave_cfg,
				    "master/slave value is invalid");
		return -EOPNOTSUPP;
	}

	lanes_cfg = ...
	if (!is_power_of_2(...lanes_cfg)) {
		...
		return -EINVAL;
	}

	return 0;
}
 
Which you can call before the device reference is taken:

 int ethnl_set_linkmodes(struct sk_buff *skb, struct genl_info *info)
 {
 	struct ethtool_link_ksettings ksettings = {};
 	struct ethnl_req_info req_info = {};
 	struct nlattr **tb = info->attrs;
 	struct net_device *dev;
 	bool mod = false;
 	int ret;
 
+	ret = ethnl_check_linkmodes(tb);
+	if (ret)
+		return ret;
 
 	ret = ethnl_parse_header_dev_get(&req_info,
 					 tb[ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_HEADER],
 					 genl_info_net(info), info->extack,
 					 true);
 	if (ret < 0)
 		return ret;


But please make sure that you move the master_slave_cfg check in a
separate patch.
