I would of split this into two patches. The reason being, we need the
new link mode. But do we need the tunable? Why don't i just use the
link mode to select it?

ethtool -s eth42 advertise 1BR10

Once you have split this up, you can explain the link mode patch in a
bit more detail. That because the name does not fit 802.3, the normal
macros cannot be used, so everything needs to be hand crafted.
