Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 4/6] ethtool: fec: sanitize ethtool_fecparam->active_fec

From: Jakub Kicinski <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 25 Mar 2021 19:07:25 -0700

struct ethtool_fecparam::active_fec is a GET-only field,
all in-tree drivers correctly ignore it on SET. Clear
the field on SET to avoid any confusion. Again, we can't
reject non-zero now since ethtool user space does not
zero-init the param correctly.
