Add callbacks used by software based LLDP agent, which allows to
configure DCB feature from userspace.
Update copyright dates as appropriate.
If LLDP agent is turned off in BIOS, or after setting private flag
("disable-fw-lldp on"). The driver initialized DCB functionality with
default values, one traffic class with 100% bandwidth allocated.
The new netlink callbacks are required for software LLDP agent, it
must be able to acquire current DCB configuration of a network port
and apply DCB configuration changes, if required.

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.
