The __ethtool_get_link_ksettings is currently used only for kernels >= 3.15. But the compat code is read by the compiler for each kernel. But kernels up to 3.1 never had the function __ethtool_get_settings which is used to emulate this function for kernels < 4.6. Therefore, kernels < 3.2 will fail to compile when this compatibility layer is enabled.
