Subject: [PATCH net v2] ethtool: fix the check logic of at least one channel for RX/TX

From: Yinjun Zhang <yinjun.zhang@...igine.com>

The command "ethtool -L <intf> combined 0" may clean the RX/TX channel
count and skip the error path, since the attrs
tb[ETHTOOL_A_CHANNELS_RX_COUNT] and tb[ETHTOOL_A_CHANNELS_TX_COUNT]
are NULL in this case when recent ethtool is used.

Tested using ethtool v5.10.

Fixes: 7be92514b99c ("ethtool: check if there is at least one channel for TX/RX in the core")

V2: (suggested by Jakub Kicinski)
  - A better change to fix the check of exceeding max count as well
