need an empty line here.

There's a problem here: rest of the fields are ignored.
Here's one way to validate user doesn't attempt to set them:

	struct ethtool_cmd diff1 = cmd;
	struct ethtool_cmd diff2 = {};

	ethtool_cmd_speed_set(&diff1, 0);
	diff1.duplex = 0;

	if (memcmp(&diff1, &diff2, sizeof diff1))
		return -EINVAL;

I think we should at least set port to PORT_OTHER.
