From 9b3004953503462a4fab31b85e44ae446d48f0bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Kubecek Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2018 19:56:58 +0200 Subject: ethtool: drop get_settings and set_settings callbacks Since [gs]et_settings ethtool_ops callbacks have been deprecated in February 2016, all in tree NIC drivers have been converted to provide [gs]et_link_ksettings() and out of tree drivers have had enough time to do the same. Drop get_settings() and set_settings() and implement both ETHTOOL_[GS]SET and ETHTOOL_[GS]LINKSETTINGS only using [gs]et_link_ksettings(). Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek Signed-off-by: David S.
