Hi Andrew,

Thx for helping me!
I thought of keeping the eager path so we still catch broken DT bindings
early at boot instead of silently failing later on first ethtool access.
But you're right, dropping it would simplify things quite a bit. Do you
think that trade-off is worth it? I will follow your lead.

cheers Carlo
