Issue description:
Current implementation saves the ETS settings from user in
a temporal soft copy and returns this settings when user
queries the ETS settings.

With the new DCBX firmware, the ETS settings can be changed
by firmware when the DCBX is in firmware controlled mode. Therefore,
user will obtain wrong values from the temporal soft copy.
Can this happen also with V2? I thought that when you dropped the
private flag it means that this hybrid mode
isn't exposed now, please clarify.
