Dirk van der Merwe 5bbd21df5a devlink: add 'reset_dev_on_drv_probe' param
Add the 'reset_dev_on_drv_probe' devlink parameter, controlling the
device reset policy on driver probe.

This parameter is useful in conjunction with the existing
'fw_load_policy' parameter.

Dirk van der Merwe e019a3b17f devlink: extend 'fw_load_policy' values
Add the 'disk' value to the generic 'fw_load_policy' devlink parameter.
This value indicates that firmware should always be loaded from disk
only.

Shalom Toledo 846e980a87 devlink: Add 'fw_load_policy' generic parameter
Many drivers load the device's firmware image during the initialization
flow either from the flash or from the disk. Currently this option is not
controlled by the user and the driver decides from where to load the
firmware image.

'fw_load_policy' gives the ability to control this option which allows the
user to choose between different loading policies supported by the driver.

This parameter can be useful while testing and/or debugging the device. For
example, testing a firmware bug fix.
