net: Introduce new feature setting ops
This introduces a new framework to handle device features setting.
It consists of:
- new fields in struct net_device:
+ hw_features - features that hw/driver supports toggling
+ wanted_features - features that user wants enabled, when possible
- new netdev_ops:
+ feat = ndo_fix_features(dev, feat) - API checking constraints for
enabling features or their combinations
+ ndo_set_features(dev) - API updating hardware state to match
changed dev->features
- new ethtool commands:
+ ETHTOOL_GFEATURES/ETHTOOL_SFEATURES: get/set dev->wanted_features
and trigger device reconfiguration if resulting dev->features
changed
+ ETHTOOL_GSTRINGS(ETH_SS_FEATURES): get feature bits names (meaning)
