Sorry. The duplex control register is used for setting the driver and is not necessary for debug purposes. The value of the duplex control register is what the register's current value is and may not reflect the correct status of the current connection. That is what the duplex status register is used for. To keep from confusing the user, we are removing the duplex register from the ethtool dump of the registers.
Based on that logic, NAK. Register dump is for people who probably have a clue about the register values, not just for your average end user who "might get confused."
