Jakub Kicinski 500e1340d1 net: ethtool: don't require empty header nests
Ethtool currently requires a header nest (which is used to carry
the common family options) in all requests including dumps.

  $ cli.py --spec netlink/specs/ethtool.yaml --dump channels-get
  lib.ynl.NlError: Netlink error: Invalid argument
  nl_len = 64 (48) nl_flags = 0x300 nl_type = 2
	error: -22      extack: {'msg': 'request header missing'}

  $ cli.py --spec netlink/specs/ethtool.yaml --dump channels-get \
           --json '{"header":{}}';  )
  [{'combined-count': 1,
    'combined-max': 1,
    'header': {'dev-index': 2, 'dev-name': 'enp1s0'}}]

Requiring the header nest to always be there may seem nice
from the consistency perspective, but it's not serving any
practical purpose. We shouldn't burden the user like this.

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.
