Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 1/5] net: Add netdev_config helpers
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 20:09:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260910180908.1506533-2-bjorn@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260910180908.1506533-1-bjorn@kernel.org>
From: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
netdev_config manipulation will become slightly more complicated
soon and will be used by both ethtool and the queue API.
Encapsulate the logic in helper functions.
