Ah there it is. Now you actually tested it with upstream :/

Please wrap the line.

Also please reject user trying to set asymmetric adaptive mode since
you don't seem to support it:

If I'm reading this right user doing:

ethtool -C eth0 adaptive-rx on adaptive-tx off

multiple times will keep switching between adaptive and non-adaptive
mode. This will be super confusing to automation which may assume
configuration commands are idempotent.
