[RFC net-next v2 6/6] selftests: drv-net: Add CMIS loopback netdevsim test
From: Björn Töpel
Date: Sun Mar 08 2026 - 08:42:00 EST
Add loopback_nsim.py with netdevsim-specific tests for CMIS module
loopback. These tests seed the EEPROM via debugfs and verify
register-level behavior.
Tests cover: no-module GET, all/partial capability reporting, EEPROM
byte verification for enable/disable and direction switching,
rejection of unsupported directions, and rejection without CMIS
support.
