      devlink: add flash update command · 76726ccb
      Jakub Kicinski authored
      
      Add devlink flash update command. Advanced NICs have firmware
      stored in flash and often cryptographically secured. Updating
      that flash is handled by management firmware. Ethtool has a
      flash update command which served us well, however, it has two
      shortcomings:
       - it takes rtnl_lock unnecessarily - really flash update has
         nothing to do with networking, so using a networking device
         as a handle is suboptimal, which leads us to the second one:
       - it requires a functioning netdev - in case device enters an
         error state and can't spawn a netdev (e.g. communication
         with the device fails) there is no netdev to use as a handle
         for flashing.
      
      Devlink already has the ability to report the firmware versions,
      now with the ability to update the firmware/flash we will be
      able to recover devices in bad state.
      
      To enable updates of sub-components of the FW allow passing
      component name.  This name should correspond to one of the
      versions reported in devlink info.
      
      v1: - replace target id with component name (Jiri).
