ethernet-parser: deal with unsupported ethtool selftest

Vincent Stehle requested to merge vincent/unsupported into master

It is valid for the Linux ethernet driver to not support selftest; handle that situation correctly by introducing an UNSUPPORTED result type and an OK quality level.

We have other options:

  • We could simply re-use the POOR quality level and not add OK if preferred.
  • Or we could also simply consider it as an ethtool FAIL and not add UNSUPPORTED if preferred.

Please let me know if you agree to consider this case of ethtool selftest unsupported + ping ok as a pass, and if you prefer another option.

Thanks!
