+Devlink configuration parameters
+================================
+Following is the list of configuration parameters via devlink interface.
+Each parameter can be generic or driver specific and are device level
+parameters.
+
+Note that the driver-specific files should contain the generic params
+they support to, with supported config modes.
+
+Each parameter can be set in different configuration modes:
+ runtime - set while driver is running, no reset required.
+ driverinit - applied while driver initializes, requires restart
+ driver by devlink reload command.
+ permanent - written to device's non-volatile memory, hard reset
+ required.
+
+Following is the list of parameters:
+====================================
+enable_sriov [DEVICE, GENERIC]
+ Enable Single Root I/O Virtualisation (SRIOV) in
+ the device.
+ Type: Boolean
+
+ignore_ari [DEVICE, GENERIC]
+ Ignore Alternative Routing-ID Interpretation (ARI)
+ capability. If enabled, adapter will ignore ARI
+ capability even when platforms has the support
+ enabled and creates same number of partitions when
+ platform does not support ARI.
+ Type: Boolean
+
+msix_vec_per_pf_max [DEVICE, GENERIC]
+ Provides the maximum number of MSIX interrupts that
+ a device can create. Value is same across all
+ physical functions (PFs) in the device.
+ Type: u32
+
+msix_vec_per_pf_min [DEVICE, GENERIC]
+ Provides the minimum number of MSIX interrupts required
+ for the device initialization. Value is same across all
+ physical functions (PFs) in the device.
+ Type: u32
+
+fw_load_policy [DEVICE, GENERIC]
+ Controls the device's firmware loading policy.
+ Valid values:
+ * DEVLINK_PARAM_FW_LOAD_POLICY_VALUE_DRIVER (0)
+ Load firmware version preferred by the driver.
+ * DEVLINK_PARAM_FW_LOAD_POLICY_VALUE_FLASH (1)
+ Load firmware currently stored in flash.
+ * DEVLINK_PARAM_FW_LOAD_POLICY_VALUE_DISK (2)
+ Load firmware currently available on host's disk.
+ Type: u8
+
+reset_dev_on_drv_probe [DEVICE, GENERIC]
+ Controls the device's reset policy on driver probe.
+ Valid values:
+ * DEVLINK_PARAM_RESET_DEV_ON_DRV_PROBE_VALUE_UNKNOWN (0)
+ Unknown or invalid value.
+ * DEVLINK_PARAM_RESET_DEV_ON_DRV_PROBE_VALUE_ALWAYS (1)
+ Always reset device on driver probe.
+ * DEVLINK_PARAM_RESET_DEV_ON_DRV_PROBE_VALUE_NEVER (2)
+ Never reset device on driver probe.
+ * DEVLINK_PARAM_RESET_DEV_ON_DRV_PROBE_VALUE_DISK (3)
+ Reset only if device firmware can be found in the
+ filesystem.
+ Type: u8
+
+enable_roce [DEVICE, GENERIC]
+ Enable handling of RoCE traffic in the device.
+ Type: Boolean
