FW flash status notify is currently implemented via a callback to the caller mlx module, and all it is doing is to call devlink_flash_update_status_notify with the specific module devlink instance. Instead of repeating the whole process for all mlx modules and re-implement the status_notify callback again and again. Just provide the devlink instance as part of mlxfw_dev when calling mlxfw_firmware_flash and let mlxfw do the devlink status updates directly. This will be very useful for adding status notify support to mlx5, as already done in this patch, with a simple one line of just providing the devlink instance to mlxfw_firmware_flash. mlxfw now depends on NET_DEVLINK as all other mlx modules.

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.
