pre-register/post-unregister functions
Lifetime of some of the devlink objects, like regions, is currently
forced to be different for devlink instance and devlink port instance
(per-port regions). The reason is that for devlink ports, the internal
structures initialization happens only after devlink_port_register() is
called.
To resolve this inconsistency, introduce new set of helpers to allow
driver to initialize devlink pointer and region list before
devlink_register() is called. That allows port regions to be created
before devlink port registration and destroyed after devlink
port unregistration.

Instead of relying on devlink pointer not being initialized, introduce
an extra flag to indicate if devlink port is registered. This is needed
as later on devlink pointer is going to be initialized even in case
devlink port is not registered yet.

Follow-up the removal of unused internal api of port params made by
commit 42ded61aa75e ("devlink: Delete not used port parameters APIs")
and stub the commands and add extack message to tell the user what is
going on.
If later on port params are needed, could be easily re-introduced,
but until then it is a dead code.

Limit the acceptance of component name passed to cmd_flash_update() to
match one of the versions returned by info_get(), marked by version type.
This makes things clearer and enforces 1:1 mapping between exposed
version and accepted flash component.
Check VERSION_TYPE_COMPONENT version type during cmd_flash_update()
execution by calling info_get() with different "req" context.
That causes info_get() to lookup the component name instead of
filling-up the netlink message.
Remove "UPDATE_COMPONENT" flag which becomes used.

Whenever the driver is called by his info_get() op, it may put multiple
version names and values to the netlink message. Extend by additional
helper devlink_info_version_running/stored_put_ext() that allows to
specify a version type that indicates when particular version name
represents a flash component.
This is going to be used in follow-up patch calling info_get() during
flash update command checking if version with this the version type
exists.

In order to be able to configure all needed stuff on a port/netdevice
of a line card without the line card being present, introduce line card
provisioning. Basically by setting a type, provisioning process will
start and driver is supposed to create a placeholder for instances
(ports/netdevices) for a line card type.
Allow the user to query the supported line card types over line card
get command. Then implement two netlink command SET to allow user to
set/unset the card type.
On the driver API side, add provision/unprovision ops and supported
types array to be advertised. Upon provision op call, the driver should
take care of creating the instances for the particular line card type.
Introduce provision_set/clear() functions to be called by the driver
once the provisioning/unprovisioning is done on its side. These helpers
are not to be called directly due to the async nature of provisioning.
Example:
$ devlink port # No ports are listed
$ devlink lc
pci/0000:01:00.0:
lc 1 state unprovisioned
supported_types:
16x100G

it seems natural to pass devlink_port as an argument to

It should be familiar and beneficial to expose devlink instance
lock to the drivers. This way drivers can block devlink from
calling them during critical sections without breakneck locking.
Add port helpers, port splitting callbacks will be the first
target.
Use 'devl_' prefix for "explicitly locked" API. Initial RFC used
'__devlink' but that's too much typing.
devl_lock_is_held() is not defined without lockdep, which is
the same behavior as lockdep_is_held() itself.

devlink compat code needs to drop rtnl_lock to take
devlink->lock to ensure correct lock ordering.
This is problematic because we're not strictly guaranteed
that the netdev will not disappear after we re-lock.
It may open a possibility of nested ->begin / ->complete
calls.
Instead of calling into devlink under rtnl_lock take
a ref on the devlink instance and make the call after
we've dropped rtnl_lock.
We (continue to) assume that netdevs have an implicit
reference on the devlink returned from ndo_get_devlink_port
Note that ndo_get_devlink_port will now get called
under rtnl_lock. That should be fine since none of
the drivers seem to be taking serious locks inside
ndo_get_devlink_port.

probe and devlink_unregister() to the beginning of device dismantle,

Currently device configuration parameters can be registered as an array.
Due to this a constant array must be registered. A single driver
supporting multiple devices each with different device capabilities end
up registering all parameters even if it doesn't support it.
One possible workaround a driver can do is, it registers multiple single
entry arrays to overcome such limitation.
Better is to provide a API that enables driver to register/unregister a
single parameter. This also further helps in two ways.
(1) to reduce the memory of devlink_param_entry by avoiding in registering
parameters which are not supported by the device.
(2) avoid generating multiple parameter add, delete, publish, unpublish,
init value notifications for such unsupported parameters

Add new device generic parameter to enable/disable creation of
VDPA net auxiliary device and associated device functionality
in the devlink instance.
User who prefers to disable such functionality can disable it using below
example.
$ devlink dev param set pci/0000:06:00.0 \
name enable_vnet value false cmode driverinit
$ devlink dev reload pci/0000:06:00.0
At this point devlink instance do not create auxiliary device for the
VDPA net functionality.
