This declaration was added to the header to be called from ethtool. ethtool is separated from core for code organization but it is not really a separate entity, it controls very core things. As ethtool is an internal stuff it is not wise to have it in netdevice.h. Move the declaration to net/core/dev.h instead. Remove the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL call as ethtool can not be built as a module.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation. 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.
