This was an attempt to align enum devlink_perm_config_type with the
NLA_* enums in netlink.h, which include the unspecified type. I will
remove the unspecified enum, but it seems like having multiple type
enums that are not aligned with each other could be problematic.

Ok, I can add a dump operation.

For set, seems like the user would need to know and set the type. So,
I was just doing the same for get(). But I can make the type a read
attribute for get.

In a response to a similar comment from v2, I tried to describe why I
felt multipart messages wouldn't be required. There was no response
to my reply, so I thought that my argument was accepted. Apparently
not, so I will add multipart support.

The idea here was that some parameters may require a restart and some
may not. By reporting it per param, the caller knows which parameter
have taken effect immediately.
But, per your comment below, I will no longer report back which
parameters were successfully set (and thus also not return the
restart_required information), and instead just put any extra needed
information into extack.
