[ Upstream commit e624c70e1131e145bd0510b8a700b5e2d112e377 ]
devlink is a software interface that doesn't depend on any hardware
capabilities. The failure in SW means memory issues, wrong parameters,
programmer error e.t.c.
Like any other such interface in the kernel, the returned status of
devlink APIs should be checked and propagated further and not ignored.

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.
