I guess I missed it, sorry, will fix.

Yes, but req_lanes is a bool and doesn't fit to nla_get_u32. Do you want me to change the req_lanes type and name?

Do you mean to move the ethnl_validate_master_slave_cfg() if from that function? Doesn't it depend on the current settings, as opposed to the supported lanes param that you wanted me to move as well?
Not sure I understand the second part of the request...
