The problem I see with ethtool is that configuring GPIOs (and these SDPs are really just GPIOs by a different name) is really the job of the device tree. But of course, most x86 users of the i210 don't have this option. Also, using ethtool or sysfs is not really attractive for embedded designs (let's not forget the poor embedded guys). I think we need to have a way to specify the pin functions at (or before) kernel boot time. Barring DT and kconfig, using a module parameter is the only way to accomplish this.
