Hi Andrew,

Thank you for review comments.

Yes. 
For other modules (i.e. PTP etc) register dumps, i would like
implement ethtool -w/-W option to configure dump flag.
Existing private flag use for EEPROM/OTP access which we don't use same
flag for register dumps to avoid accidental changes which may damage
EEPROM/OTP sensitive data.

OK. 
Otherwise, I will create LAN743X_ETH_REG_FLAGS and follow your
suggestion.
