Cited patch deleted ethtool flash device support, as ethtool core can
fallback into devlink flash callback. However, this is supported only if
there is a devlink port registered over the corresponding netdevice.
As mlx5e do not have devlink port support over native netdevice, it broke
the ability to flash device via ethtool.
This patch re-add the ethtool callback to avoid user functionality breakage
when trying to flash device via ethtool.

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 Restructured Text 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.
