It would be good to have some basic validation here, make sure user space has passed a reasonable value. You should also define what 0 and ETHTOOL_A_PODL_PSE_ADMIN_CONTROL_UNKNOWN means here when passed in. In future, there could be additional things which could be configured, so struct pse_control_config gets additional members. ETHTOOL_A_PODL_PSE_ADMIN_CONTROL appears to be mandatory, you return -EVINAL if missing, so if you don't want to change it, but change some other new thing, maybe 0 should be passed here? And the driver should not consider it an error? ETHTOOL_A_PODL_PSE_ADMIN_CONTROL_UNKNOWN however seems invalid and so should be rejected here? Andrew
