Subject[PATCH net-next v2 1/4] net-e1000e: fix ethtool set_features taking new features into account too late
Date
Before this patch, the set_features() ethtool callback would not take
the new specified features into account when configuring the NIC. It
would only consider the current features, ie. the ones after previous
set_features(). A second ethtool set_features() with the same
specified features cannot work around that issue because it would boil
down to a nop (code checks wether specified features changed or not).

This patch solves this by propagating the requested features.

Tested:
printk in code + custom ethtool (based on
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/95836/)
