This patch series contains some ethtool-related enhancements, where the significant addition is the ability to read/write from the device's non-volatile memory via the ethtool socket [required for the adapter's fw-upgrade utility].
Dave, Please consider applying this to `net-next'. Thanks, Yuval P.s. - up until this point I've tried to maintain distinct patches for qed and qede. But where the infrastructure is either scarce or else encompass most of the changes [as in with the eeprom changes] I see little merit in splitting the backend/frontend into seperate patches. If there are any objections here, I'll step back into splitting things.
