[RFC NET-NEXT PATCH 0/6] implement MDI-X set support in Intel drivers

[Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com>]

This is an update (v2) to the patches sent previously.

This series implements MDI-X set support in the Intel gigabit ethernet
drivers.  It specifically allows a user to control the MDI state,
in order for them to work around issues with broken switches.

The only change to this series is updated descriptions and an
addition of reporting the current mdix_ctrl value in the
"get_settings" functions, which allows the new extended reporting
in the ethtool app's MDI-X: line

sent as RFC for now to get feedback while internal testing
completes. (and net-next is closed)
