Please don't do unrelated whitespace changes.

Simpler as:
	bool is_on = !strcmp(res->on, "on");

Also what if use gives bogus value for on/off?

You need to handle the "none of the above" case.

This is a mess. And it shows missing ethdev functionality.
Calling a driver with some unrelated device may break it.

Not sure if anyone really cares about ethtool?
But if they do please fixup and resubmit
