Thanks for the patch/option. But I think it should just default to n,
not PHYLIB.

It should be enabled by default for every device supporting this kind of
selftests.

I agree.

I still wonder if there is confusion about self test here. Maybe

Probably.

putting ethtool into the description will help people understand it
has nothing to do with the kernel self test infrastructure and kernel
self testing.

So it's a hardware check that is required to be run if it's implemented
in a driver?

Required by who/what?

thanks.
