Subject: [PATCH rdma-next v1 0/6] Introduce UCAP API and usage in mlx5

Changelog:
v1:
 * Used kref primitives instead of open-coded variant
 * Check return value from dev_set_name()
 * Added extra brackets around type in UCAP_ENABLED macro
v0: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1740574943.git.leon@kernel.org

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This series introduces the User CAPability (UCAP) API that allows
creating user contexts with various firmware privileges.

The UCAP API provides fine-grained control over specific firmware
features by representing each capability as a character device with root
read-write access. Root processes can grant users special privileges by
allowing access to these character devices. User contexts created using
a file descriptor of a UCAP will have specific UCAP privileges.

Two UCAP character devices are created for mlx5, and user contexts
opened with at least one of these UCAPs are considered privileged. To
ensure that privileged commands can always proceed, non-privileged
commands are limited when a privileged user is present on the device.

Thanks
