Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/6] mlxfw: Improve error reporting

Hi Dave,

This patchset improves mlxfw error reporting of mlxfw to netlink and
kernel log.

1) patch #1, Convert extack msg to a formattable buffer

2) patch #2, Make mlxfw/mlxsw fw flash devlink status notify generic,
   and enable it for mlx5.

3) rest of the patches are improving mlxfw flash error messages by
reporting detailed mlxfw FSM error messages to netlink and more detailed
kernel log.

+                      mlxfw_fsm_state_err_str[fsm_state_err]);

+               return -EINVAL;
++>>>>>>> (net) (delete) 

To resolve just use the 1st hunk, from net-next.

Thanks,
Saeed.
