If a network device is runtime-suspended then:
- network device may be flagged as detached and all ethtool ops (even if
  not accessing the device) will fail because netif_device_present()
  returns false
- ethtool ops may fail because device is not accessible (e.g. because being
  in D3 in case of a PCI device)

It may not be desirable that userspace can't use even simple ethtool ops
that not access the device if interface or link is down. To be more friendly
to userspace let's ensure that device is runtime-resumed when executing
ethtool ops in kernel.

This patch series covers the typical case that the netdev parent is power-
managed, e.g. a PCI device. Not sure whether cases exist where the netdev
itself is power-managed. If yes then we may need an extension for this.
But the series as-is at least shouldn't cause problems in that case.

Heiner Kallweit (4):
  ethtool: runtime-resume netdev parent before ethtool ioctl ops
  ethtool: move implementation of ethnl_ops_begin/complete to netlink.c
  ethtool: move netif_device_present check from
    ethnl_parse_header_dev_get to ethnl_ops_begin
  ethtool: runtime-resume netdev parent in ethnl_ops_begin

When running get_maintainers.pl for any of the patches in the series
I don't get these addresses. I run get_maintainers w/o options, maybe
you set some special option? That's what I get when running get_maintainers:

Ah, maybe it's because I typically don't work with the full git repo
but just do a "git clone --depth 1".
