Indeed! > Devlink has just gained something similar to ethtool -i. Maybe we > should get the devlink core to also report the kernel version? I don't think we have the driver version at all there, my usual inclination being to not duplicate information across APIs. Do we have non-hypothetical instances of users reporting ethtool -i without uname output? Admittedly I may work with above-average Linux-trained engineers :S Would it be okay to just get devlink user space to use uname() to get the info?
