no need for a bitfield here, this is a simpler selector
bitfield is for cases when we need to update some persistent
state, in that case we want to indicate which bits we intend
to update:

cfg = (cfg & ~bf.mask) | bf.val

scope is a straight attribute, there's no updating of anything.

u32 or unit would do

ack, will use u32 for resource scope mask

do we need this? it's not an attr enum all we care about here is
the mask, really so just a trailing value which is max real value + 1
is enough for all users?


ok, can manage without max at all, can manage also without DEVLINK_RESOURCE_SCOPE_VALID_MASK
