Enhance the ethtool cable test interface by introducing the ability to specify the source of the diagnostic information for cable test results. This is particularly useful for PHYs that offer multiple diagnostic methods, such as Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) and Active Link Cable Diagnostic (ALCD). Key changes: - Added `ethnl_cable_test_result_with_src` and `ethnl_cable_test_fault_length_with_src` functions to allow specifying the information source when reporting cable test results. - Updated existing `ethnl_cable_test_result` and `ethnl_cable_test_fault_length` functions to use TDR as the default source, ensuring backward compatibility. - Modified the UAPI to support these new attributes, enabling drivers to provide more detailed diagnostic information.

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 reStructuredText 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.
