Changes since v1, based on the excellent feedback received: * Implemented nested parameters correctly this time, I think. * Submitting config get/set infrastructure separately from the parameters themselves, and then submitting just the first four parameters as separate patches. Once this approach is accepted, I will add additional parameters, taking into account comments received on them. * Changed devlink_nl_sing_param_get/set to use _single_. * Tried to make clear that all params using this command are permanent / NVRAM settings, not transient. * Split out the reorganization of bnxt driver to separate patch, submitted to net-next earlier today. * One non-change: The devices this change affects don't typically have a separate 'asic' pci b/d/f versus per-port b/d/f; they just have (typically multiple) b/d/f entities for each function on the device. So, doesn't seem to me like splitting these parameters into port vs. device params works here.
Adds a devlink command for getting & setting permanent (persistent / NVRAM) device configuration parameters, and enumerates the parameters as nested devlink attributes. bnxt driver patch makes use of these new devlink cmds.
