I assume this commit is in one of Dave's trees and breaks nes and ipoib
because it changed the ethtool_op_set_flags prototype?
Right.

Since this depends on a commit already in Dave's tree, Dave should
probably take it into the same tree.  I guess there's no way to roll
this into the original patch to avoid breaking bisects once this ends up
upstream?
Unfortunately it's too late to do that.
anyway,

Also would have been a bit nicer to avoid adding a double blank line
here, although that's obviously a trivial issue.
This spacing is consistent with the surrounding code.
