Subject: [net-next PATCH 0/2] Add ethtool support for completion event size 

After a packet is sent or received by NIC then NIC posts
a completion event which consists of transmission status
(like send success or error) and received status(like
pointers to packet fragments). These completion events may
also use a ring similar to rx and tx rings. This patchset
introduces ce-size ethtool parameter to modify the size
of the completion event if NIC hardware has that capability.
A bigger completion event can have more receive buffer pointers
inturn NIC can transfer a bigger frame from wire as long as
hardware(MAC) receive frame size limit is not exceeded.

Patch 1 adds support setting/getting ce-size via
ethtool -G and ethtool -g.

Patch 2 includes octeontx2 driver changes to use
completion event size set from ethtool -G.

Thanks,
Sundeep
