Add support for firmware update through the devlink interface. This update copies the firmware object into the device, asks the current firmware to install it, then asks the firmware to select the new firmware for the next boot-up. The install and select steps are launched as asynchronous requests, which are then followed up with status request commands. These status request commands will be answered with an EAGAIN return value and will try again until the request has completed or reached the timeout specified.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
