Hi all, This patch series untangles the ethtool netlink dependency with PHYLIB which exists because the cable test feature calls directly into PHY library functions. The approach taken here is to utilize a new set of net_device_ops function pointers which are automatically set to the PHY library variants when a network device driver attaches to a PHY device.
