    net: ena: ethtool: add extra properties retrieval via get_priv_flags · 315c28d2
    Arthur Kiyanovski authored
    This commit adds a mechanism for exposing different device
    properties via ethtool's priv_flags. The strings are provided
    by the device and copied to user space through the driver.
    
    In this commit we:
    
    Add commands, structs and defines necessary for handling
    extra properties
    
    Add functions for:
    Allocation/destruction of a buffer for extra properties strings.
    Retreival of extra properties strings and flags from the network device.
    
    Handle the allocation of a buffer for extra properties strings.
    
    * Initialize buffer with extra properties strings from the
      network device at driver startup.
    
    Use ethtool's get_priv_flags to expose extra properties of
    the ENA device
