linux.git/Documentation/networking/devlink/devlink-params.rst, branch v5.8 Linux kernel source tree devlink: expand the devlink-info documentation 2020-03-24T23:47:33+00:00 Jakub Kicinski kuba@kernel.org 2020-03-24T17:30:16+00:00 cd556e40fdf3b09e229097021a9148ecb6e7725e 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.

Describe what each info section is supposed to contain, and make

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.
