[PATCH net-next v2] net: devlink: add DEVLINK_INFO_VERSION_GENERIC_FW_BOOTLOADER
Posted by Vincent Mailhol 2 years, 9 months ago 
As discussed in [1], abbreviating the bootloader to "bl" might not be
well understood. Instead, a bootloader technically being a firmware,
name it "fw.bootloader".

Add a new macro to devlink.h to formalize this new info attribute name
and update the documentation.

You add it and don't use it. You should add only what you use.

I will use it in this series for the linux-can tree:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20221126162211.93322-4-mailhol.vincent@wanadoo.fr/

If it is a problem to send this as a standalone patch, I will then
just add it to my series and have the patch go through the linux-can
tree.


Yours sincerely,
Vincent Mailhol

As you have the Ok from Greg, include this in you v5 series.

This is a different patch. Greg gave me his ACK to export usb_cache_string():
  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-usb/Y3zyCz5HbGdsxmRT@kroah.com/

This is a new patch to add an info attribute for the bootloader in
devlink.h. Regardless, I added it to the v5:
  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-can/20221130174658.29282-5-mailhol.vincent@wanadoo.fr/

@Jakub (and other netdev maintainers): do not pick this, it will go
through linux-can.


Yours sincerely,
Vincent Mailhol
