Commit 9cab88726929605 ("net: ethtool: Add back transceiver type")
restores the transceiver type to struct ethtool_link_settings and
convert_link_ksettings_to_legacy_settings() but forgets to remove the
error check for the same in convert_legacy_settings_to_link_ksettings().
This prevents older versions of ethtool to change link settings.
# ethtool --version
ethtool version 3.16
# ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on speed 100 duplex full
Cannot set new settings: Invalid argument
not setting speed
not setting duplex
not setting autoneg
While newer versions of ethtool works.
# ethtool --version
ethtool version 4.10
# ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on speed 100 duplex full
[ 57.703268] sh-eth ee700000.ethernet eth0: Link is Down
[ 59.618227] sh-eth ee700000.ethernet eth0: Link is Up - 100Mbps/Full - flow control rx/tx

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
