ethtool: reformat kerneldoc for struct ethtool_link_settings
The kernel doc comments for struct ethtool_link_settings includes documentation for three fields that were never present there, leading to these docs-build warnings: ./include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h:2207: warning: Excess struct member 'supported' description in 'ethtool_link_settings' ./include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h:2207: warning: Excess struct member 'advertising' description in 'ethtool_link_settings' ./include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h:2207: warning: Excess struct member 'lp_advertising' description in 'ethtool_link_settings' Remove the entries to make the warnings go away. There was some information there on how data in >link_mode_masks is formatted; move that to the body of the comment to preserve it.
