Andrew, is this missing the following patch?

I don't have hardware with cable test support so wondered if you could
test it. I think that without this patch you would see problems with two
simultaneous cable tests. The first one to finish will terminate both
ethtool processes because the code is processing all cable tests
notifications regardless of the device for which the test was issued.

Context: I'm using a similar scheme for transceiver module firmware
update in order to support simultaneous update of several modules.
