Is it really necessary for a device to be able to have multiple different
`EtherOperations`? Couldnt you also just make `T` implement
`EtherOperations<D>`?

I think it would be a good idea to add a comment here that explains why
this is needed, i.e. why `ETHER_OPS` cannot be implemented via a constant
in `set_ether_ops`.

Why is this a function?

`&mut EthtoolTsInfo` is again a double pointer.

Why isn't this an associated function on `EthtoolTsInfo`?
