2020-06-22	devlink: Add support for board.serial_number to info_get cb.	Vasundhara Volam	1	-7/+5
	Board serial number is a serial number, often available in PCI Vital Product Data. Also, update devlink-info.rst documentation file.

2020-03-27	devlink: Add macro for "fw.mgmt.api" to info_get cb.	Vasundhara Volam	1	-0/+6
	Add definition and documentation for the new generic info "fw.mgmt.api". This macro specifies the version of the software interfaces between driver and firmware.

2020-03-24	devlink: expand the devlink-info documentation	Jakub Kicinski	1	-16/+117
	We are having multiple review cycles with all vendors trying to implement devlink-info. Let's expand the documentation with more information about what's implemented and motivation behind this interface in an attempt to make the implementations easier. Describe what each info section is supposed to contain, and make some references to other HW interfaces (PCI caps). Document how firmware management is expected to look, to make it clear how devlink-info and devlink-flash work in concert. Name some future work. v2: - improve wording v3: - improve wording Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2020-03-21	devlink: promote "fw.bundle_id" to a generic info version	Jacob Keller	1	-0/+5
	The nfp driver uses ``fw.bundle_id`` to represent a unique identifier of the entire firmware bundle. A future change is going to introduce a similar notion in the ice driver, so promote ``fw.bundle_id`` into a generic version now.

	Add definition and documentation for the new generic info "fw.roce". v2: Remove board.nvm_cfg since fw.psid is similar.

2020-01-10	devlink: rename devlink-info-versions.rst and add a header	Jacob Keller	1	-0/+94
	Rename the devlink-info-versions.rst file to a plain devlink-info.rst file. Add additional paragraphs explaining what devlink-info is for, and the expectation that drivers use the generic names where plausible. Note that drivers which use non-standard info version names ought to document these in a driver-specific info-versions.rst file.
