Not sure how valuable are comments like this...

A helper would be nice for this. For req_info too.

"before_ops"/"after_ops" sounds odd. Maybe:
ethnl_ops_begin
ethnl_ops_complete

To me in-line with ethtool_ops names?

I guess you don't want the caller (ethnl_get_doit/ethnl_get_dumpit)
to call this because it might not be needed down in prepare_data()
callback, right?

Please have the ops with the same name/suffix:
	.request_policy		= linkinfo_reques_policy,
	.prepare_data		= linkinfo_prepare_data,
	.reply_size		= linkinfo_reply_size,
	.fill_reply		= linkinfo_fill_reply,

Same applies of course to the other patches.
