We can't, as it is in the ethtool UAPI. Also I believe Maxime will use it on later patch series. Maxime, you confirm? Regards,

But could we differentiate in the documentation between ETHTOOL_MSG_PHY_GET_REPLY and ETHTOOL_MSG_PHY_NTF?

Yeah it was a leftover from when I implemented that, however I do plan on adding this notification though, so if it's OK for it to stay that's perfect as it'll get used. Then for the documentation, we can specify "Ethernet PHY information change notification". This would trigger when the PHYs are appearing on the topology. Thanks, Maxime
