Commit Message

Vladimir Oltean Jan. 19, 2023, 12:26 p.m. UTC 
  Two new netlink attributes were added to PAUSE_GET and STATS_GET and
their replies. Document them.

Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com>
---
v3->v4: none
v2->v3:
- adapt to renaming of constants
- add a single kernel-doc reference to enum ethtool_mac_stats_src
  (second one gives warning apparently)
v1->v2: patch is new
