Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 RFC 0/8] devlink: Add configuration parameters support for devlink_port

This patchset adds support for configuration parameters setting through
devlink_port.  Each device registers supported configuration parameters
table.

The user can retrieve data on these parameters by
"devlink port param show" command and can set new value to a
parameter by "devlink port param set" command.
All configuration modes supported by devlink_dev are supported
by devlink_port also.

Command examples and output:

# devlink port param show
pci/0000:3b:00.0/0:
  name wake-on-lan type generic
    values:
      cmode permanent value false

pci/0000:3b:00.1/1:
  name wake-on-lan type generic
    values:
      cmode permanent value false

pci/0000:af:00.0/0:
  name wake-on-lan type generic
    values:
      cmode permanent value true

# devlink port param show pci/0000:3b:00.0/0 name wake-on-lan
pci/0000:3b:00.0/0:
  name wake-on-lan type generic
    values:
      cmode permanent value false

# devlink port param set pci/0000:3b:00.0/0 name wake-on-lan cmode permanent value true

v1->v2:
Make following changes as per suggestions from Jiri Pirko.
- Remove separate enum devlink_port_param_generic_id for port params.
  Instead club it with existing device params. Accordingly refactor
  remaining patchset.
- Move INIT_LIST_HEAD of port param_list to devlink_port_register()
- Add a helper devlink_param_verify() to be used for both
  devlink_params_register() and devlink_port_params_register().
- Add a helper __devlink_params_unregister() for common code in
  devlink_params_unregister() and devlink_port_params_unregister().
- Move DEVLINK_CMD_PORT_PARAM_XXX definitions to the end of the enum.
- Split the patches for devlink_port_param_driverinit_value_get() and
  devlink_port_param_driverinit_value_set() into separate patches.
- define DEVLINK_PARAM_GENERIC_ID_WOL type as u8 and define enum for
  different types of WOL. Accordingly modify bnxt_en patch to validate
  wol type.
