#4 introduces:

> DEVLINK_ATTR_PERM_CFG_PRE_OS_LINK_SPEED_D0: Configure default
> pre-OS link speed in full power (D0) state; use enum
> devlink_pre_os_link_speed.

> DEVLINK_ATTR_PERM_CFG_PRE_OS_LINK_SPEED_D3: Configure default
> pre-OS link speed in sleep (D3) state; use enum
> devlink_pre_os_link_speed.

Why would user need an additional value for the MBA speed?
