====================
ixgbe: Add basic devlink support

Jedrzej Jagielski says:

Create devlink specific directory for more convenient future feature
development.

Flashing and reloading are supported only by E610 devices.

Introduce basic FW/NVM validation since devlink reload introduces
possibility of runtime NVM update. Check FW API version, FW recovery
mode and FW rollback mode. Introduce minimal recovery probe to let
user to reload the faulty FW when recovery mode is detected.

  ixgbe: add support for FW rollback mode
  ixgbe: add E610 implementation of FW recovery mode
  ixgbe: add FW API version check
  ixgbe: add support for devlink reload
  ixgbe: add device flash update via devlink
  ixgbe: extend .info_get() with stored versions
  ixgbe: add E610 functions getting PBA and FW ver info
  ixgbe: add .info_get extension specific for E610 devices
  ixgbe: read the netlist version information
  ixgbe: read the OROM version information

+ixgbe devlink support
+=====================
+
+This document describes the devlink features implemented by the ``ixgbe``
+device driver.
+
+Info versions
+=============
+
+Any of the versions dealing with the security presented by ``devlink-info``
+is purely informational. Devlink does not use a secure channel to communicate
+with the device.
+
+The ``ixgbe`` driver reports the following versions
+
+.. list-table:: devlink info versions implemented
+    :widths: 5 5 5 90
+
+    * - Name
+      - Type
+      - Example
+      - Description
+    * - ``board.id``
+      - fixed
+      - H49289-000
+      - The Product Board Assembly (PBA) identifier of the board.
+    * - ``fw.undi``
+      - running
+      - 1.1937.0
+      - Version of the Option ROM containing the UEFI driver. The version is
+        reported in ``major.minor.patch`` format. The major version is
+        incremented whenever a major breaking change occurs, or when the
+        minor version would overflow. The minor version is incremented for
+        non-breaking changes and reset to 1 when the major version is
+        incremented. The patch version is normally 0 but is incremented when
+        a fix is delivered as a patch against an older base Option ROM.
+    * - ``fw.undi.srev``
+      - running
+      - 4
+      - Number indicating the security revision of the Option ROM.
+    * - ``fw.bundle_id``
+      - running
+      - 0x80000d0d
+      - Unique identifier of the firmware image file that was loaded onto
+        the device. Also referred to as the EETRACK identifier of the NVM.
+    * - ``fw.mgmt.api``
+      - running
+      - 1.5.1
+      - 3-digit version number (major.minor.patch) of the API exported over
+        the AdminQ by the management firmware. Used by the driver to
+        identify what commands are supported. Historical versions of the
+        kernel only displayed a 2-digit version number (major.minor).
+    * - ``fw.mgmt.build``
+      - running
+      - 0x305d955f
+      - Unique identifier of the source for the management firmware.
+    * - ``fw.mgmt.srev``
+      - running
+      - 3
+      - Number indicating the security revision of the firmware.
+    * - ``fw.psid.api``
+      - running
+      - 0.80
+      - Version defining the format of the flash contents.
+    * - ``fw.netlist``
+      - running
+      - 1.1.2000-6.7.0
+      - The version of the netlist module. This module defines the device's
+        Ethernet capabilities and default settings, and is used by the
+        management firmware as part of managing link and device
+        connectivity.
+    * - ``fw.netlist.build``
+      - running
+      - 0xee16ced7
+      - The first 4 bytes of the hash of the netlist module contents.
+
+Flash Update
+============
+
+The ``ixgbe`` driver implements support for flash update using the
+``devlink-flash`` interface. It supports updating the device flash using a
+combined flash image that contains the ``fw.mgmt``, ``fw.undi``, and
+``fw.netlist`` components.
+
+.. list-table:: List of supported overwrite modes
+   :widths: 5 95
+
+   * - Bits
+     - Behavior
+   * - ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_SETTINGS``
+     - Do not preserve settings stored in the flash components being
+       updated. This includes overwriting the port configuration that
+       determines the number of physical functions the device will
+       initialize with.
+   * - ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_SETTINGS`` and ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_IDENTIFIERS``
+     - Do not preserve either settings or identifiers. Overwrite everything
+       in the flash with the contents from the provided image, without
+       performing any preservation. This includes overwriting device
+       identifying fields such as the MAC address, Vital product Data (VPD) area,
+       and device serial number. It is expected that this combination be used with an
+       image customized for the specific device.
+
+Reload
+======
+
+The ``ixgbe`` driver supports activating new firmware after a flash update
+using ``DEVLINK_CMD_RELOAD`` with the ``DEVLINK_RELOAD_ACTION_FW_ACTIVATE``
+action.
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+    $ devlink dev reload pci/0000:01:00.0 reload action fw_activate
+
+The new firmware is activated by issuing a device specific Embedded
+Management Processor reset which requests the device to reset and reload the
+EMP firmware image.
+
+The driver does not currently support reloading the driver via
+``DEVLINK_RELOAD_ACTION_DRIVER_REINIT``.
