Good point Russell, I'll fix that. And I wish to seize the opportunity
to remark that the same problem may be present in cabletest.c
(see below).

Maybe we should post a patch to fix that?

Thanks,
Piergiorgio

int ethnl_act_cable_test(struct sk_buff *skb, struct genl_info *info)
{
struct ethnl_req_info req_info = {};
const struct ethtool_phy_ops *ops;
struct nlattr **tb = info->attrs;
struct net_device *dev;
int ret;

ret = ethnl_parse_header_dev_get(&req_info,
tb[ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_HEADER],
genl_info_net(info), info->extack,
true);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;

dev = req_info.dev;
if (!dev->phydev) {
ret = -EOPNOTSUPP;
goto out_dev_put;
}

rtnl_lock();
