    net: cdc_ether: record speed in status method · d42ebcbb
    Grant Grundler authored
    Until very recently, the usbnet framework only had support functions
    for devices which reported the link speed by explicitly querying the
    PHY over a MDIO interface. However, the cdc_ether devices send
    notifications when the link state or link speeds change and do not
    expose the PHY (or modem) directly.
    
    Support funtions (e.g. usbnet_get_link_ksettings_internal()) to directly
    query state recorded by the cdc_ether driver were added in a previous patch.
    
    Instead of cdc_ether spewing the link speed into the dmesg buffer,
    record the link speed encoded in these notifications and tell the
    usbnet framework to use the new functions to get link speed/state.
    
    User space can now get the most recent link speed/state using ethtool.
    
    v4: added to series since cdc_ether uses same notifications
        as cdc_ncm driver.
