It is a bit confusing and harder to follow when you have set and notify
code in the same patch. Could you please split?

This is what I was talking about in the other email. These common attrs
should have common policy and should be parsed by generic netlink code
by default and be available for ethnl_set_linkinfo() in info->attrs.

Yeah, genl code should do this parse..

and pre_doit should do this one.

if (!mod)
goto out_ops;

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the only notification I found in
this patchset. Do you expect other then ethnl_std_notify() handler?
Bacause otherwise this can ba simplified down to just a single table
similar you have for GET.
