Nice idea. Wanted to ask why you kept the error messages for some of the devlink attributes, but then I figured that user space first needs to learn to interpret 'NLMSGERR_ATTR_MISS_TYPE' and 'NLMSGERR_ATTR_MISS_NEST'.
Nod.
Do you plan to patch iproute2/ethtool after the kernel patches are accepted?
I think ethtool may be doable, I don't remember iproute2 having good support for NLMSGERR_ATTR_OFFS (i.e. resolving offsets), but no, I'm not planning to patch either :( Too few hours in a day :(
