This function is used with the set_eee() ethtool operation. Certain
fields of struct ethtool_keee() are relevant only for the get_eee()
operation. In addition, in case of the ioctl interface, we have no
guarantee that userspace sends sane values in struct ethtool_eee.
Therefore explicitly ignore all fields not needed for set_eee().
This protects from drivers trying to use unchecked and unreliable
data, relying on specific userspace behavior.

Note: Such unsafe driver behavior has been found and fixed in the
tg3 driver.

Currently, when you switch between branches or something like that and
rebuild, net/ethtool/ioctl.c has to be built again because it depends
on UTS_RELEASE.

By instead referencing a string variable stored in another object file,
this can be avoided.

Add linkmode bitmap members to struct ethtool_keee, but keep the legacy
u32 bitmaps for compatibility with existing drivers.
Use linkmode "supported" not being empty as indicator that a user wants

In order to later extend struct ethtool_keee, we have to decouple it
from the userspace format represented by struct ethtool_eee.
Therefore switch back to struct ethtool_eee, representing the userspace
format, and add conversion between ethtool_eee and ethtool_keee.
Struct ethtool_keee will be changed in follow-up patches, therefore
don't do a *keee = *eee here.
Member cmd isn't copied, because it's not used, and we'll remove
it in the next patch of this series. In addition omit setting cmd
to ETHTOOL_GEEE in the ioctl response, userspace ethtool isn't
interested in it.

<title>ethtool: replace struct ethtool_eee with a new struct ethtool_keee on kernel side</title>

<content type='text'>
In order to pass EEE link modes beyond bit 32 to userspace we have to
complement the 32 bit bitmaps in struct ethtool_eee with linkmode
bitmaps. Therefore, similar to ethtool_link_settings and
ethtool_link_ksettings, add a struct ethtool_keee. In a first step
it's an identical copy of ethtool_eee. This patch simply does a
s/ethtool_eee/ethtool_keee/g for all users.
No functional change intended.

Commit 13e59344fb9d ("net: ethtool: add support for symmetric-xor RSS hash")
adds a check to the ethtool set_rxnfc operation, which checks the RX
flow hash if the flag RXH_XFRM_SYM_XOR is set. This flag is introduced
with the same commit. It calls the ethtool get_rxfh operation to get the
RX flow hash data. If get_rxfh is not supported, then EOPNOTSUPP is
returned.

There are driver like tsnep, macb, asp2, genet, gianfar, mtk, ... which
support the ethtool operation set_rxnfc but not get_rxfh. This results
in EOPNOTSUPP returned by ethtool_set_rxnfc() without actually calling
the ethtool operation set_rxnfc. Thus, set_rxnfc got broken for all
these drivers.

Check RX flow hash in ethtool_set_rxnfc() only if driver supports RX
flow hash.
