The goal of this series is to report the firmware version, the
bootloader version and the hardware revision of ETAS ES58x
devices.
These are already reported in the kernel log but this isn't best
practice. Remove the kernel log and instead export all these through
devlink. The devlink core automatically exports the firmware and the
bootloader version to ethtool, so no need to implement the
ethtool_ops::get_drvinfo() callback anymore.
Patch one and two implement the core support for devlink (at device
level) and devlink port (at the network interface level).
Patch three export usb_cache_string() and patch four add a new info
attribute to devlink.h. Both are prerequisites for patch five.
Patch five is the actual goal: it parses the product information from
a custom usb string returned by the device and expose them through
devlink.
Patch six removes the product information from the kernel log.
Finally, patch seven add a devlink documentation page with list all
the information attributes reported by the driver.

* Changelog *
v4 -> v5:
* [PATH 2/7] add devlink port support. This extends devlink to the
network interface.
* thanks to devlink port, 'ethtool -i' is now able to retrieve the
firmware version from devlink. No need to implement the
ethtool_ops::get_drvinfo() callback anymore: remove one patch from
the series.
* [PATCH 4/7] A new patch to add a new info attribute for the
bootloader version in devlink.h. This patch was initially sent as
a standalone patch here:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20221129031406.3849872-1-mailhol.vincent@xxxxxxxxxx/
Merging it to this series so that it is both added and used at the
same time.
* [PATCH 5/7] use the newly info attribute defined in patch 4/7 to
report the bootloader version instead of the custom string "bl".
* [PATCH 5/7] because the series does not implement
ethtool_ops::get_drvinfo() anymore, the two helper functions
es58x_sw_version_is_set() and es58x_hw_revision_is_set() are only
used in devlink.c. Move them from es58x_core.h to es58x_devlink.c.
* [PATCH 5/7] small rework of the helper function
es58x_hw_revision_is_set(): it is OK to only check the letter (if
the letter is '\0', it will not be possible to print the next
numbers).
* [PATCH 5/7 and 6/7] add reviewed-by Andrew Lunn tag.
* [PATCH 7/7] Now, 'ethtool -i' reports both the firmware version
and the bootloader version (this is how the core export the
information from devlink to ethtool). Update the documentation to
reflect this fact.
* Reoder the patches.
v3 -> v4:
* major rework to use devlink instead of sysfs following Andrew's
comment.
* split the series in 6 patches.
* [PATCH 1/6] add Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
v2 -> v3:
* patch 2/3: do not spam the kernel log anymore with the product
number. Instead parse the product information string, extract the
firmware version, the bootloadar version and the hardware revision
and export them through sysfs.
* patch 2/3: rework the parsing in order not to need additional
fields in struct es58x_parameters.
* patch 3/3: only populate ethtool_drvinfo::fw_version because since
commit edaf5df22cb8 ("ethtool: ethtool_get_drvinfo: populate
drvinfo fields even if callback exits"), there is no need to
populate ethtool_drvinfo::driver and ethtool_drvinfo::bus_info in
the driver.
v1 -> v2:
* was a single patch. It is now a series of three patches.
* add a first new patch to export usb_cache_string().
* add a second new patch to apply usb_cache_string() to existing code.
* add missing check on product info string to prevent a buffer overflow.
* add comma on the last entry of struct es58x_parameters.
