[PATCH v2] staging: vt6655: preserve address space in ethtool_ioctl()

[Martin Kepplinger]

Fix the sparse error: cast removes address space of expression and
add __user annotation to the driver's ethtool_ioctl().

Beyond that, how would you include socket.c's ethtool_ioctl() here?

thanks for looking at these tiny changes.
