From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@nvidia.com> The kernel assumes bank 0 when 'ETHTOOL_MSG_MODULE_EEPROM_GET' is sent without 'ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_EEPROM_BANK'. Document it as part of the interface documentation. Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@nvidia.com> --- Documentation/networking/ethtool-netlink.rst | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+)
