Please LMK if I'm contradicting prior reviewers, I've scanned 
the previous versions but may have missed stuff.

Let's spell out PLCA RS, this is the first use of the term in the doc.

This is 30.16.1.1.3 aPLCANodeCount ? The phrasing of the help is quite
different than the standard. Pure count should be max node + 1 (IOW max
of 256, which won't fit into u8, hence the question)
Or is node 255 reserved?

Please consider making the fields u16 or u32. Netlink pads all
attributes to 4B, and once we decide the size in the user API
we can never change it. So even if the standard says max is 255
if some vendor somewhere may decide to allow a bigger range we
may be better off using a u32 type and limiting the accepted
range in the netlink policy (grep for NLA_POLICY_MAX())

TBH I can't parse the "ETHTOOL_A_PLCA_VERSION is reported as 0Axx
where.." sentence. Specifically I'm confused about what the 0A is.

I noticed some count attributes in the spec, are these statistics?
Do any of your devices support them? It'd be good to add support in
a fixed format via net/ethtool/stats.c from the start, so that people
don't start inventing their own ways of reporting them.

(feel free to ask for more guidance, the stats support is a bit spread
out throughout the code)

get status doesn't need exact? I guess..
