Hi Petter,

I remember we discussed that some weeks ago with Ben. The first
premise is that we want to ship as less patches as needed and only if
there is a chance that it is upstream. This brings us to the second
point, that support should probably land upstream then we could pick
it in advance if it is queued for a next version.

So that would be to write to Michal Kubecek an the netdev mailinglist.

Details: https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/devel.html

Keep us please in loop on upstream submission.

Regards,
Salvatore
