[PATCH net-next v2] net: devlink: add DEVLINK_INFO_VERSION_GENERIC_FW_BOOTLOADER

From: Vincent Mailhol
Date: Mon Nov 28 2022 - 22:14:27 EST


As discussed in [1], abbreviating the bootloader to "bl" might not be
well understood. Instead, a bootloader technically being a firmware,
name it "fw.bootloader".

Add a new macro to devlink.h to formalize this new info attribute name
and update the documentation.
