Is my reading correct that in case the reason is not in the pddr2ethtool_table opaque binary data will be passed from the firmware to user space? Is there any particular reason to allow for this? If it's just for the rare scenario where a new error code needs to be added perhaps it would be enough to dump the FW-provided message to the logs?
