[PATCH net-next 2/8] ethtool: Name the 'no change' value for setting RSS hash key but not indir table

[Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3760 bytes --]

We usually allocate special values of u32 fields starting from the top
down, so also change the value to 0xffffffff.  As these operations
haven't been included in a stable release yet, it's not too late to
change.

Any smoothly functioning technology is indistinguishable from a rigged demo.
