Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 00/10] Adding permanent config get/set to devlink

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.
