Cited patch deleted ethtool flash device support, as ethtool core can fallback into devlink flash callback. However, this is supported only if there is a devlink port registered over the corresponding netdevice. As mlx5e do not have devlink port support over native netdevice, it broke the ability to flash device via ethtool. This patch re-add the ethtool callback to avoid user functionality breakage when trying to flash device via ethtool.

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 Restructured Text 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.
