As it happens, this patch set seems to conflict with the recently merged
8580e16c28f3 ("net/ethtool: add netlink interface for the PLCA RS").
It is still possible to apply and test on a set of kernel UAPI headers
prior to that commit, so I will leave reviewers/testers more time to
comment, and will not resend kernel + user space patches just for this
fact.
