Hi Antoine,

Its great to see macsec hw offload infrastructure happening!

Most of ndo's are named by action verbs. This ndo is abit misleading, reader
may have difficulties understanding what

+	if (phydev->drv->macsec)
+		ret = phydev->drv->macsec(phydev, macsec);

is actually doing.

May be it'd be better renaming to at least ndo_do_macsec(), or ndo_setup_macsec()
?

Similar comment is for

+struct netdev_macsec {

It reads like a macsec device context, but it is a macsec configuration command.
