Subject: net: provide a default dev->ethtool_ops
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2c60db037034d27f8c636403355d52872da92f81;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

net: provide a default dev->ethtool_ops

Instead of forcing device drivers to provide empty ethtool_ops or tweak
net/core/ethtool.c again, we could provide a generic ethtool_ops.

This occurred to me when I wanted to add GSO support to GRE tunnels.
ethtool -k support should be generic for all drivers.
