netifd in 23.05 probably needs this as well:

system-linux: switch to new ETHTOOL_xLINKSETTINGS API

committed 08:39PM - 31 Aug 23 UTC

ETHTOOL_GSET / ETHTOOL_SSET API is deprecated since Linux v5.2 released in 2016,… see torvalds/linux@3f1ac7a700d03 ("net: ethtool: add new ETHTOOL_xLINKSETTINGS API"). All still maintained OpenWrt versions use kernel versions new enough to support the new API. Hence migrate to ETHTOOL_xLINKSETTINGS API API to handle auto-negotiation for flow-control as well as higher bandwidth like 2.5G, 5G and 10G. Use ethtool API to switch on or off auto-negotiation of Ethernet interfaces, and set speed and duplex accordingly in case auto- negotiation is switched off. Add support for flow-control settings, both manual/force mode for RX and TX pause frames as well as advertising Pause and Asym_Pause bits. Instead of hard-coding the supported modes, generate a header file describing them from <linux/ethtool.h>.
