Oh, I see you set it in the driver in patch 8.
That should work, my only concern is that this is not how
any of the other ethtool config options work today.
And there isn't any big warning in the code here telling
driver authors that they are responsible for the state update.

So even tho your patches are correct I still think it's better 
to handle it like hds_config, just for consistency.
