The discussion we had before was about flag bitfield that was there
*always*. In this case, that is not true. It is either ifindex or
ifname. Even rtnetlink has ifname as attribute.
The flags and info_mask is just big mystery. If it is per-command,
seems natural to have it as attributes.
I think flags and info_mask indeed can be moved out of this struct.
I guess, in this case, I can see your point of view especially if we
allow ethtool operations on non-netdev entities.
So, ok, let's move forward without a base command struct and just
use attributes.
Thanks :)
