Check for ethtool_ops structures that are only stored in the ethtool_ops
field of a net_device structure or passed as the second argument to
netdev_set_default_ethtool_ops.  These contexts are declared const, so
ethtool_ops structures that have these properties can be declared as const

Casting away const is bad practice. Since this is ARM specific driver
don't have hardware actually test this.

Having getter functions for ops is really unnecessary code bloat, but
not going to touch that.

Thanks.  Probably they don't compile for x86, or at least not with make
allyesconfig.  I can check on them.

Casting away const is bad practice. Since this is ARM specific driver
don't have hardware actually test this.

Having getter functions for ops is really unnecessary code bloat, but
not going to touch that.

I should be able to test this in the next few days. I don't expect there
to be an issue. I'll let you know what I find.

Thanks,

No issues found in build and test. For what it's worth since the patch
is already applied:
