Makes sense, although ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_POWER_LIMIT does not say if
it's max or min limit. What about:
ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_POWER_MAX_LIMIT
ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_POWER_UPPER_LIMIT

Yep, makes sense

Hmmm, I think we can allow to reset if the currently set limit is the default one.
Right now only the driver could catch such scenario because we don't have a parameter
that driver could use to inform the ethtool about the default value.
I hope that answers your question since I'm not 100% sure if that's what you asked about :)

Yes, that was my intention. Using both of those attributes at the same time is not allowed.

Hmmm, makes sense
