I guess this part is optional. I think i've always seen hard coded
values. But this is O.K.

So data->sqi becomes -ENETDOWN

Thinking about the old code, if the driver returned something other
than -EOPNOTSUPP, it looks like the error code would make it to user
space. Is ethtool/iproute2 setup to correctly handle this? If it is,
maybe pass the -ENETDOWN to user space?
