net: ethtool: add new ETHTOOL_xLINKSETTINGS API

This patch defines a new ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS/SLINKSETTINGS API,
handled by the new get_link_ksettings/set_link_ksettings callbacks.
This API provides support for most legacy ethtool_cmd fields, adds
support for larger link mode masks (up to 4064 bits, variable length),
and removes ethtool_cmd deprecated
fields (transceiver/maxrxpkt/maxtxpkt).

This API is deprecating the legacy ETHTOOL_GSET/SSET API and provides
the following backward compatibility properties:
 - legacy ethtool with legacy drivers: no change, still using the
   get_settings/set_settings callbacks.
 - legacy ethtool with new get/set_link_ksettings drivers: the new
   driver callbacks are used, data internally converted to legacy
   ethtool_cmd. ETHTOOL_GSET will return only the 1st 32b of each link
   mode mask. ETHTOOL_SSET will fail if user tries to set the
   ethtool_cmd deprecated fields to
   non-0 (transceiver/maxrxpkt/maxtxpkt). A kernel warning is logged if
   driver sets higher bits.
 - future ethtool with legacy drivers: no change, still using the
   get_settings/set_settings callbacks, internally converted to new data
   structure. Deprecated fields (transceiver/maxrxpkt/maxtxpkt) will be
   ignored and seen as 0 from user space. Note that that "future"
   ethtool tool will not allow changes to these deprecated fields.
 - future ethtool with new drivers: direct call to the new callbacks.

By "future" ethtool, what is meant is:
 - query: first try ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS, and revert to ETHTOOL_GSET if
   fails
 - set: query first and remember which of ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS or
   ETHTOOL_GSET was successful
   + if ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS was successful, then change config with
     ETHTOOL_SLINKSETTINGS. A failure there is final (do not try
     ETHTOOL_SSET).
   + otherwise ETHTOOL_GSET was successful, change config with
     ETHTOOL_SSET. A failure there is final (do not try
     ETHTOOL_SLINKSETTINGS).

The interaction user/kernel via the new API requires a small
ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS handshake first to agree on the length of the link
mode bitmaps. If kernel doesn't agree with user, it returns the bitmap
length it is expecting from user as a negative length (and cmd field is
0). When kernel and user agree, kernel returns valid info in all
fields (ie. link mode length > 0 and cmd is ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS).

Data structure crossing user/kernel boundary is 32/64-bit
agnostic. Converted internally to a legal kernel bitmap.

The internal __ethtool_get_settings kernel helper will gradually be
replaced by __ethtool_get_link_ksettings by the time the first
"link_settings" drivers start to appear. So this patch doesn't change
it, it will be removed before it needs to be changed.

+ * IMPORTANT, Backward compatibility notice: When implementing new

+ *	settings; do not use %ETHTOOL_SSET if %ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS
+ *	succeeded: stick to %ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS/%SLINKSETTINGS in

+ *	settings; do not use %ETHTOOL_SLINKSETTINGS if
+ *	%ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS failed: stick to
+ *	%ETHTOOL_GSET/%ETHTOOL_SSET in that case.
+ *
+ * @cmd: Command number = %ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS or %ETHTOOL_SLINKSETTINGS
+ * @speed: Link speed (Mbps)
+ * @duplex: Duplex mode; one of %DUPLEX_*
+ * @port: Physical connector type; one of %PORT_*
+ * @phy_address: MDIO address of PHY (transceiver); 0 or 255 if not
+ *	applicable.  For clause 45 PHYs this is the PRTAD.
+ * @autoneg: Enable/disable autonegotiation and auto-detection;
+ *	either %AUTONEG_DISABLE or %AUTONEG_ENABLE
+ * @mdio_support: Bitmask of %ETH_MDIO_SUPPORTS_* flags for the MDIO
+ *	protocols supported by the interface; 0 if unknown.
+ *	Read-only.
+ * @eth_tp_mdix: Ethernet twisted-pair MDI(-X) status; one of
+ *	%ETH_TP_MDI_*.  If the status is unknown or not applicable, the
+ *	value will be %ETH_TP_MDI_INVALID.  Read-only.
+ * @eth_tp_mdix_ctrl: Ethernet twisted pair MDI(-X) control; one of
+ *	%ETH_TP_MDI_*.  If MDI(-X) control is not implemented, reads
+ *	yield %ETH_TP_MDI_INVALID and writes may be ignored or rejected.
+ *	When written successfully, the link should be renegotiated if
+ *	necessary.
+ * @link_mode_masks_nwords: Number of 32-bit words for each of the
+ *	supported, advertising, lp_advertising link mode bitmaps. For
+ *	%ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS: on entry, number of words passed by user
+ *	(>= 0); on return, if handshake in progress, negative if
+ *	request size unsupported by kernel: absolute value indicates
+ *	kernel recommended size and cmd field is 0, as well as all the
+ *	other fields; otherwise (handshake completed), strictly
+ *	positive to indicate size used by kernel and cmd field is
+ *	%ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS, all other fields populated by driver. For
+ *	%ETHTOOL_SLINKSETTINGS: must be valid on entry, ie. a positive
+ *	value returned previously by %ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS, otherwise
+ *	refused. For drivers: ignore this field (use kernel's
+ *	__ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_MASK_NBITS instead), any change to it will
+ *	be overwritten by kernel.
+ * @supported: Bitmap with each bit meaning given by
+ *	%ethtool_link_mode_bit_indices for the link modes, physical
+ *	connectors and other link features for which the interface
+ *	supports autonegotiation or auto-detection.  Read-only.
+ * @advertising: Bitmap with each bit meaning given by
+ *	%ethtool_link_mode_bit_indices for the link modes, physical
+ *	connectors and other link features that are advertised through
+ *	autonegotiation or enabled for auto-detection.
+ * @lp_advertising: Bitmap with each bit meaning given by
+ *	%ethtool_link_mode_bit_indices for the link modes, and other
+ *	link features that the link partner advertised through
+ *	autonegotiation; 0 if unknown or not applicable.  Read-only.
+ *
+ * If autonegotiation is disabled, the speed and @duplex represent the
+ * fixed link mode and are writable if the driver supports multiple
+ * link modes.  If it is enabled then they are read-only; if the link
+ * is up they represent the negotiated link mode; if the link is down,
+ * the speed is 0, %SPEED_UNKNOWN or the highest enabled speed and
+ * @duplex is %DUPLEX_UNKNOWN or the best enabled duplex mode.
+ *
+ * Some hardware interfaces may have multiple PHYs and/or physical
+ * connectors fitted or do not allow the driver to detect which are
+ * fitted.  For these interfaces @port and/or @phy_address may be
+ * writable, possibly dependent on @autoneg being %AUTONEG_DISABLE.
+ * Otherwise, attempts to write different values may be ignored or
+ * rejected.
+ *
+ * Deprecated %ethtool_cmd fields transceiver, maxtxpkt and maxrxpkt
+ * are not available in %ethtool_link_settings. Until all drivers are
+ * converted to ignore them or to the new %ethtool_link_settings API,
+ * for both queries and changes, users should always try
+ * %ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS first, and if it fails with -ENOTSUPP stick
+ * only to %ETHTOOL_GSET and %ETHTOOL_SSET consistently. If it
+ * succeeds, then users should stick to %ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS and
+ * %ETHTOOL_SLINKSETTINGS (which would support drivers implementing
+ * either %ethtool_cmd or %ethtool_link_settings).
+ *
+ * Users should assume that all fields not marked read-only are
+ * writable and subject to validation by the driver.  They should use
+ * %ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS to get the current values before making specific
+ * changes and then applying them with %ETHTOOL_SLINKSETTINGS.
+ *
+ * Drivers that implement %get_link_ksettings and/or
+ * %set_link_ksettings should ignore the @cmd
+ * and @link_mode_masks_nwords fields (any change to them overwritten
+ * by kernel), and rely only on kernel's internal
+ * %__ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_MASK_NBITS and
+ * %ethtool_link_mode_mask_t. Drivers that implement
+ * %set_link_ksettings() should validate all fields other than @cmd
+ * and @link_mode_masks_nwords that are not described as read-only or
+ * deprecated, and must ignore all fields described as read-only.
