This patch completes the user space implementation of the private flags inteface in ethtool. Using -b/-B options. Signed-off-by: Carolyn Wyborny <redacted>
The only use case you show here is something generic which other chips have, Energy Efficient Ethernet. Making an attribute private which is present widely amonst various networking chips makes no sense at all. It deserved a generic ethtool flag.
