[PATCH net-next v17 05/14] net: ethtool: Allow passing a phy index for some commands

From: Maxime Chevallier
Date: Tue Jul 09 2024 - 02:31:19 EST


Some netlink commands are target towards ethernet PHYs, to control some
of their features. As there's several such commands, add the ability to
pass a PHY index in the ethnl request, which will populate the generic
ethnl_req_info with the passed phy_index.

Add a helper that netlink command handlers need to use to grab the
targeted PHY from the req_info. This helper needs to hold rtnl_lock()
while interacting with the PHY, as it may be removed at any point.

+``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_PHY_INDEX`` identifies the Ethernet PHY the message relates to.
+As there are numerous commands that are related to PHY configuration, and because
+there may be more than one PHY on the link, the PHY index can be passed in the
+request for the commands that needs it. It is, however, not mandatory, and if it
+is not passed for commands that target a PHY, the net_device.phydev pointer
