Changes since v3: * Using union instead of void * to pass parameter values to/from drivers. * Updated parameter comments / naming and added enum for enable/disable to add clarity. * Various code cleanup in bnxt: - change hwrm call to use mutex protected version - use roundup() macro - remove unnecessary error messages - change mechanism to check for parameter-not-found - cleanup merge w/ switchdev eswitch devlink functions - rebased with Michael Chan's recent bnxt changes in net-next.
Suggested changes not implemented: * re: val8 = val32 "Don't you need explicit castings for these kind of assignments to prevent warnings?" -- No, I don't think explicit castings are necessary here; I don't get any compiler warnings (w/ gcc 5.4.0) -- Adds a devlink command for getting & setting permanent / persistent device configuration parameters, and enumerates the parameters as nested devlink attributes.
