Although less useful, it is exposed already via the kernel logs.

Also, this is not at all an appropriate place to expose this.  The
"driver info" ethtool command is not a place to post per-connection
or per-link information.

Probably one of the IFLA_* netlink attributes would work best for
this.  You could even use PHYS_PORT_ID for this, which gives you
32 bytes to work with.
