Hi,Need to rebase due to commit d603517771d8 ("devlink: pass param values by pointer"). Sorry for the noise.
This series by Nikolay introduces a new generic devlink device
parameter, max_sfs, to control the number of light-weight NIC
subfunctions (SFs) that can be created on a device.
The first patch adds the generic devlink parameter and infrastructure
support.
The second patch implements support for the parameter in the mlx5
driver.
With this addition, users can enable or disable SF creation directly via
devlink, without relying on external vendor-specific tools.
