  • Introduce devlink infrastructure for drivers to register and expose to
    userspace via generic Netlink interface.

    There are two basic objects defined:
    devlink - one instance for every "parent device", for example switch ASIC
    devlink port - one instance for every physical port of the device.

    This initial portion implements basic get/dump of objects to userspace.
    Also, port splitter and port type setting is implemented.
