+CABLE_TEST TDR

+Start a cable test and report raw TDR data

+ ==================================== ====== ==========================
+
+Notification contents:
+
+Raw TDR data is gathered by sending a pulse down the cable and
+recording the amplitude of the reflected pulse for a given distance.
+
+It can take a number of seconds to collect TDR data, especial if the
+full 100 meters is probed at 1 meter intervals. When the test is
+started a notification will be sent containing just
+ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_TDR_STATUS with the value
+ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_NTF_STATUS_STARTED.
+
+When the test has completed a second notification will be sent
+containing ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_TDR_STATUS with the value
+ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_NTF_STATUS_COMPLETED and the TDR data.
+
+The message may optionally contain the amplitude of the pulse send
+down the cable. This is measured in mV. A reflection should not be
+bigger than transmitted pulse.
+
+Before the raw TDR data should be an ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TDR_NEST_STEP
+nest containing information about the distance along the cable for the
+first reading, the last reading, and the step between each
+reading. Distances are measured in centimeters. These should be the
+exact values the PHY used. These may be different to what the user
+requested, if the native measurement resolution is greater than 1 cm.
+
+For each step along the cable, a ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TDR_NEST_AMPLITUDE is
+used to report the amplitude of the reflection for a given pair.
