Added the netdev_ops file to debugfs with a command to call the ndo_tx_timeout function to give users the ability to simulate a tx_timeout call made by the kernel. Signed-off-by: Catherine Sullivan <redacted>
What is the justification for creating a new API here? Your exposing only one thing 'tx_timeout' and that is a generic property of the device (not ixgbe specific). That value is already available via sysfs.
