[RFC PATCH net-next 0/1] Add Clear fec-stats ethtool handler

[Pei Lee Ling <pei.lee.ling@intel.com>]

ethtool: Add Clear fec-stats ethtool handler 

During optical cable re-seating, transceiver swaps, or Bit Error Rate (BER) 
troubleshooting on 25G/100G/400G+ links, operators need to establish 
a clean baseline for physical-layer FEC error counters (corrected/uncorrectable blocks).

Introduce a standardized netlink fec-clear operation using the ETHTOOL_MSG_FEC_SET 
message type with an ETHTOOL_A_FEC_STATS_CLEAR attribute. This provides a consistent and
non-disruptive management interface that can be uniformly supported 
across all required drivers.
