Moshe Shemesh 195d9dece1 devlink: Add enable_remote_dev_reset generic parameter
The enable_remote_dev_reset devlink param flags that the host admin
allows device resets that can be initiated by other hosts. This
parameter is useful for setups where a device is shared by different
hosts, such as multi-host setup. Once the user set this parameter to
false, the driver should NACK any attempt to reset the device while the
driver is loaded.

Jakub Kicinski cd556e40fd devlink: expand the devlink-info documentation
We are having multiple review cycles with all vendors trying
to implement devlink-info. Let's expand the documentation with
more information about what's implemented and motivation behind
this interface in an attempt to make the implementations easier.

Describe what each info section is supposed to contain, and make
some references to other HW interfaces (PCI caps).

Document how firmware management is expected to look, to make
it clear how devlink-info and devlink-flash work in concert.

Name some future work.

v2: - improve wording
v3: - improve wording

A few generic devlink parameters have been added, but never documented.
Fix that now.
