+=========================
+octeontx2 devlink support
+=========================
+
+This document describes the devlink features implemented by the ``octeontx2 AF, PF and VF``
+device drivers.
+
+Parameters
+==========
+
+The ``octeontx2 PF and VF`` drivers implement the following driver-specific parameters.
+
+.. list-table:: Driver-specific parameters implemented
+ :widths: 5 5 5 85
+
+ * - Name
+ - Type
+ - Mode
+ - Description
+ * - ``mcam_count``
+ - u16
+ - runtime
+ - Select number of match CAM entries to be allocated for an interface.
+ The same is used for ntuple filters of the interface. Supported by
+ PF and VF drivers.
+
+The ``octeontx2 AF`` driver implements the following driver-specific parameters.
+
+.. list-table:: Driver-specific parameters implemented
+ :widths: 5 5 5 85
+
+ * - Name
+ - Type
+ - Mode
+ - Description
+ * - ``dwrr_mtu``
+ - u32
+ - runtime
+ - Use to set the quantum which hardware uses for scheduling among transmit queues.
+ Hardware uses weighted DWRR algorithm to schedule among all transmit queues.
+ * - ``npc_mcam_high_zone_percent``
+ - u8
+ - runtime
+ - Use to set the number of high priority zone entries in NPC MCAM that can be allocated
+ by a user, out of the three priority zone categories high, mid and low.
+ * - ``npc_def_rule_cntr``
+ - bool
+ - runtime
+ - Use to enable or disable hit counters for the default rules in NPC MCAM.
+ Its not guaranteed that counters gets enabled and mapped to all the default rules,
+ since the counters are scarce and driver follows a best effort approach.
+ The default rule serves as the primary packet steering rule for a specific PF or VF,
+ based on its DMAC address which is installed by AF driver as part of its initialization.
+ Sample command to read hit counters for default rule from debugfs is as follows,
+ cat /sys/kernel/debug/cn10k/npc/mcam_rules
+ * - ``nix_maxlf``
+ - u16
+ - runtime
+ - Use to set the maximum number of LFs in NIX hardware block. This would be useful
+ to increase the availability of default resources allocated to enabled LFs like
+ MCAM entries for example.
+
+The ``octeontx2 PF`` driver implements the following driver-specific parameters.
+
+.. list-table:: Driver-specific parameters implemented
+ :widths: 5 5 5 85
+
+ * - Name
+ - Type
+ - Mode
+ - Description
+ * - ``unicast_filter_count``
+ - u8
+ - runtime
+ - Set the maximum number of unicast filters that can be programmed for
+ the device. This can be used to achieve better device resource
+ utilization, avoiding over consumption of unused MCAM table entries.
