Why go to debugfs rather than gracefully extending the ethtool stuff to explicitly support what you need? Anyone who says debugfs just isn't willing to design things correctly. That's why I basically have started rejecting everything that tries to use debugfs in the networking, it's the "I'm too damn lazy to do this properly" option and I simply won't stand for crap like that any more.
