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.
