4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Eran Ben Elisha <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 31a86d137219373c3222ca5f4f912e9a4d8065bb ] Ethtool channels respond struct was uninitialized when querying device channel boundaries settings. As a result, unreported fields by the driver hold garbage. This may cause sending unsupported params to driver. Fixes: 8bf368620486 ('ethtool: ensure channel counts are within bounds ...')
