Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: ethtool: pass genl_info to the ethnl parse_request operation
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 10:58:32 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260323095833.136266-1-maxime.chevallier@bootlin.com> (raw)

The .parse_request() ethnl operation extracts the relevant attributes
from the netlink request to populate the private req_info.

By passing genl_info as a parameter to this callback, we can use
the GENL_REQ_ATTR_CHECK() macro to check for missing mandatory
parameters.

This macro has the advantage of returning a better error explanation
through the netlink_ext_ack struct.

Convert the eeprom ethnl code to this macro, as it's the only command
yet that has mandatory request parameters.
