[PATCH net-next 0/7] ethtool netlink interface, part 2

This shorter series adds support for getting and setting of wake-on-lan
settings and message mask (originally message level). Together with the
code already in net-next, this will allow full implementation of
"ethtool <dev>" and "ethtool -s <dev> ...".

Older versions of the ethtool netlink series allowed getting WoL settings
by unprivileged users and only filtered out the password but this was
a source of controversy so for now, ETHTOOL_MSG_WOL_GET request always
requires CAP_NET_ADMIN as ETHTOOL_GWOL ioctl request does.

Michal Kubecek (7):
ethtool: fix kernel-doc descriptions
ethtool: provide message mask with DEBUG_GET request
ethtool: set message mask with DEBUG_SET request
ethtool: add DEBUG_NTF notification
ethtool: provide WoL settings with WOL_GET request
ethtool: set wake-on-lan settings with WOL_SET request
ethtool: add WOL_NTF notification
