:/ what is a line card device? You must provide document what you're
doing, this:

 .../networking/devlink/devlink-linecard.rst   |   4 +

is not enough.

How many operations and attributes are you going to copy&paste?

Is linking devlink instances into a hierarchy a better approach?

Would you mind if I revert this? I don't understand why the line card
patches are applied in 6h on Sunday night, especially that RFCv1 had
quite a long discussion. But really any uAPI additions should warrant
longer review time, IMHO.
