[PATCH net-next RFC v3 13/14] net/mlx5: Add support for devlink reload action fw activate no reset

From: Moshe Shemesh
Date: Sun Aug 30 2020 - 11:33:40 EST


Add support for devlink reload action fw_activation_no_reset which does
firmware live patching, updating the firmware image without reset.
The driver checks if the firmware is capable of handling the pending
firmware changes as a live patch. If it is then it triggers firmware
live patching flow.

v2 -> v3:
- Replace fw_live_patch action by fw_activate_no_reset
v1 -> v2:
- Have fw_live_patch action instead of level
