ethtool: add ethnl_parse_bitset() helper
Unlike other SET type commands, modifying netdev features is required to provide a reply telling userspace what was actually changed, compared to what was requested. For that purpose, the "modified" flag provided by ethnl_update_bitset() is not sufficient, we need full information which bits were requested to change. Therefore provide ethnl_parse_bitset() returning effective value and mask bitmaps equivalent to the contents of a bitset nested attribute. v2: use non-atomic __set_bit() (suggested by David Miller) Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek <mkubecek@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: David S.
