We usually allocate special values of u32 fields starting from the top
down, so also change the value to 0xffffffff. As these operations
haven't been included in a stable release yet, it's not too late to
change.

This ethtool patch primarily copies the ioctl command data structures
from/to the User space and invokes the driver hook.

A colon almost unavoidably starts a new section. The script should be
changed to provide a way to avoid this, but for now reword the
comments to avoid using colons.

The kernel-doc script does not tolerate the macro definition in between.

Convert the inline comments to kernel-doc format.
Explicitly specify that non-zero autoneg is an error if link
autonegotiation is disabled.
Specify that pause capabilities should be advertised dependent on link
autonegotiation, not the autoneg flag here. There is no way to
opt-out of pause frame autonegotiation, and this improves behaviour
when the link partner is configured to follow pause frame
autonegotiation and our interface is not.

Replace the inline comments (and some others below) with a full
explanation of the semantics, in kernel-doc format. Specify which
strings may be empty. Document the relationship with other commands.
Replace the 'deprecation' of some fields with a proper explanation of
the conversion to generalised string sets, as userland programs may
not be able to assume that ETHTOOL_GSSET_INFO is available.

struct ethtool_cmd has very limited documentation; it contains
several obscure or obsolete fields and several with non-obvious
interpretation.
Replace the inline comments (and some others below) with a full
explanation of the semantics as well as I understand them, in
kernel-doc format. Formally deprecate some fields that seem to be of
historical use only.
Extend the comment about 32/64-bit compatibility to cover all
ethtool structures.

Add a comment which explains the real meaning of XCVR_INTERNAL (PHY and
Ethernet MAC in the same package/die) and XCVR_EXTERNAL (PHY and
Ethernet MAC in a different package/die). Most if not all of the drivers
setting their transceiver type already do it the way the comment
describes it.

Add ability to specify destination MAC address for L3/L4 flow spec

configuration. This change is transparent to older userspace.
