There's a devlink port param command. I've been wondering if this could be used
to set a port's AvbMode. However:
* at the moment there are no drivers supporting this.
eg. devlink_nl_port_param_set_doit and other return this isn't supported
* i don't know if AvbMode is a valid use for devlink port param, and if it
would get accepted
