[PATCH net-next RFC 00/13] Add devlink reload level option

[Moshe Shemesh]

Introduce new option on devlink reload API to enable the user to select the
reload level required. Complete support for all levels in mlx5.
The following reload levels are supported:
  driver: Driver entities re-instantiation only. 
  fw_reset: Firmware reset and driver entities re-instantiation. 
  fw_live_patch: Firmware live patching only.

Each driver which support this command should expose the reload levels
supported and the driver's default reload level.
The uAPI is backward compatible, if the reload level option is omitted
from the reload command, the driver's default reload level will be used.

Patch 1 adds the new API reload level option to devlink.
Patch 2 exposes the supported reload levels and default level on devlink
        dev get.
Patches 3-8 add support on mlx5 for devlink reload level fw-reset and
            handle the firmware reset events.
Patches 9-10 add devlink enable remote dev reset parameter and use it
             in mlx5.
Patches 11-12 mlx5 add devlink reload live patch support and event
              handling.
Patch 13 adds documentation file devlink-reload.rst 

Command examples:

# Run reload command with fw-reset reload level:
$ devlink dev reload pci/0000:82:00.0 level fw-reset

# Run reload command with driver reload level:
$ devlink dev reload pci/0000:82:00.0 level driver

# Run reload command with driver's default level (backward compatible):
$ devlink dev reload pci/0000:82:00.0
