We have a number of netlink commands in the ethnl family that may have
multiple objects to dump even for a single net_device, including :
- PLCA, PSE-PD, phy: one message per PHY device
- tsinfo: one message per timestamp source (netdev + phys)
- rss: One per RSS context
To get this behaviour, these netlink commands need to roll a custom
->dumpit().
To prepare making per-netdev DUMP more generic in ethnl, introduce a
member in the ethnl ops to indicate if a given command may allow
pernetdev DUMPs (also referred to as filtered DUMPs).
