[ Upstream commit 976c44af48141cd8595601c0af2a19a43c5b228b ]
The device's manual (PRM - Programmer's Reference Manual) classifies the
trap that is used to deliver EMAD responses as an "event trap". Among
other things, it means that the only actions that can be associated with
the trap are TRAP and FORWARD (NOP).
Currently, during driver de-initialization the driver unregisters the
trap by setting its action to DISCARD, which violates the above
guideline. Future firmware versions will prevent such misuses by
returning an error. This does not prevent the driver from working, but
an error will be printed to the kernel log during module removal /
devlink reload:
mlxsw_spectrum 0000:03:00.0: Reg cmd access status failed (status=7(bad parameter))
mlxsw_spectrum 0000:03:00.0: Reg cmd access failed (reg_id=7003(hpkt),type=write)
Suppress the error message by aligning the driver to the manual and use
a FORWARD (NOP) action when unregistering the trap.

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.
