net: Introduce new feature setting ops
This introduces a new framework to handle device features setting. It consists of: - new fields in struct net_device: + hw_features - features that hw/driver supports toggling + wanted_features - features that user wants enabled, when possible - new netdev_ops: + feat = ndo_fix_features(dev, feat) - API checking constraints for enabling features or their combinations + ndo_set_features(dev) - API updating hardware state to match changed dev->features - new ethtool commands: + ETHTOOL_GFEATURES/ETHTOOL_SFEATURES: get/set dev->wanted_features and trigger device reconfiguration if resulting dev->features changed + ETHTOOL_GSTRINGS(ETH_SS_FEATURES): get feature bits names (meaning) Signed-off-by: Michał Mirosław <mirq-linux@rere.qmqm.pl> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
