It provides better extensibility and some new features,
Since ETHTOOL_NETLINK is a bool we end up not enabling it on allmodconfig builds, (PHYLIB=m so ETHTOOL_NETLINK dependency can't be met) - which is v scary for build testing. Is there a way we can change this dependency? Some REACHABLE shenanigans? Or since there are just two callbacks maybe phylib can "tell" ethtool core the pointers to call when it loads?
