Add support for a PSE device index to report the PSE controller index to
the user through ethtool. This will be useful for future support of power
domains and port priority management.  
This index is not used in the series, I see later on you'll add power
evaluation strategy but that also seems to be within a domain not
device?

Doesn't it make sense to move patches 11-14 to the next series?
The other 11 patches seem to my untrained eye to reshuffle existing
stuff, so they would make sense as a cohesive series.
Indeed PSE index is used only as user information but there is nothing
correlated. You are right maybe we can add PSE index when we have something
usable for it.
No user, means, it is not exposed to the user space, it is not about
actual user space users.
