Hi,
For printing the Expansion ROM version of the adapter, we were thinking if ethtool
could be used for it ?
There are fields in ethtool_drvinfo to display fw_version and driver_version. Also,
there are two reserved fields present. Are these two reserved fields already in use ?
Could anyone of the reserved field be used to print the custom adapter info like
Expansion ROM version ?
Thanks,
Hariprasad Shenai

Yes, I think reserved1 could be used for this. But you should rename it
in the header and update the comment to indicate what it's now being
used for.
