[ Upstream commit 58086721b7781c3e35b19c9b78c8f5a791070ba3 ]

In case devlink_rel_nested_in_notify_work() can not take the devlink
lock mutex. Convert the work to delayed work and in case of reschedule
do it jiffie later and avoid potential looping.

<title>devlink: Fix referring to hw_addr attribute during state validation</title>

[ Upstream commit 1a89e24f8bfd3e3562d69709c9d9cd185ded869b ]

When port function state change is requested, and when the driver
does not support it, it refers to the hw address attribute instead
of state attribute. Seems like a copy paste error.

Fix it by referring to the port function state attribute.

Currently, some of the commands are not described in devlink yaml file
and are manually filled in net/devlink/netlink.c in small_ops. To make
all part of split_ops, add definitions of the rest of the commands
alongside with needed attributes and enums.

Note that this focuses on the kernel side. The requests are fully
described in order to generate split_op alongside with policies.
Follow-up will describe the replies in order to make the userspace
helpers complete.

<title>devlink: convert most of devlink_fmsg_*() to return void</title>

Since struct devlink_fmsg retains error by now (see 1st patch of this
series), there is no longer need to keep returning it in each call.

This is a separate commit to allow per-driver conversion to stop using
those return values.

<id>db80d3b2558fcc6d18fbcb1452cdf6df65cec151</id>
<content type='text'>
Retain error value in struct devlink_fmsg, to relieve drivers from
checking it after each call.
Note that fmsg is an in-memory builder/buffer of formatted message,
so it's not the case that half baked message was sent somewhere.

We could find following scheme in multiple drivers:
  err = devlink_fmsg_obj_nest_start(fmsg);
  if (err)
  	return err;
  err = devlink_fmsg_string_pair_put(fmsg, "src", src);
  if (err)
  	return err;
  err = devlink_fmsg_something(fmsg, foo, bar);
  if (err)
	return err;
  // and so on...
  err = devlink_fmsg_obj_nest_end(fmsg);

With retaining error API that translates to:
  devlink_fmsg_obj_nest_start(fmsg);
  devlink_fmsg_string_pair_put(fmsg, "src", src);
  devlink_fmsg_something(fmsg, foo, bar);
  // and so on...
  devlink_fmsg_obj_nest_end(fmsg);

What means we check error just when is time to send.

Possible error scenarios are developer error (API misuse) and memory
exhaustion, both cases are good candidates to choose readability
over fastest possible exit.

Note that this patch keeps returning errors, to allow per-driver conversion
to the new API, but those are not needed at this point already.

This commit itself is an illustration of benefits for the dev-user,
more of it will be in separate commits of the series.
