Hello:

This series was applied to netdev/net-next.git (main)
by Jakub Kicinski [off-list ref]:

With the ethtool_get_link_ksettings() situation hopefully ironed out
the previous series (commit 6a5d837f0ce2) let's return to the main
part of the series.

We have been slowly moving towards removing the rtnl_lock dependency
in driver ops since the concept of "ops-locked" drivers have been
introduced last year. Since last year will take the netdev instance
lock before invoking any ndo or ethtool op of "ops-locked" drivers.
