[patch net-next v4] ethtool: pse-pd: move pse validation into set

From: Diogo Jahchan Koike
Date: Wed Aug 28 2024 - 13:44:17 EST


Move validation into set, removing .set_validate operation as its current
implementation holds the rtnl lock for acquiring the PHY device, defeating
the intended purpose of checking before grabbing the lock.

Reported-by: syzbot+ec369e6d58e210135f71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=ec369e6d58e210135f71
