Linux Devlink Documentation
===========================
devlink is an API to expose device information and resources not directly
related to any device class, such as chip-wide/switch-ASIC-wide configuration.
devlink: convert driver-specific files to reStructuredText Several drivers document what parameters they support in a devlink-params-*.txt file. This file is supposed to contain both the list of generic parameters implemented by the driver, as well as a list of driver-specific parameters and their descriptions. It would also be good if the driver documentation included other driver-specific implementations, such as info versions, devlink regions, and so forth. Convert all of these documentation files to reStructuredText, and rename them to just the driver name. Future changes will include other driver-specific implementations. Each file will contain a table for the generic parameters implemented, as well as a separate table for the driver-specific parameters. Future sections such as for devlink info versions will be added to these files. This avoids creating additional devlink-<feature>-<driver> files for each devlink feature, reducing clutter in the documentation folder.

devlink: convert devlink-health.txt to rst format Update the devlink-health documentation to use the newer ReStructuredText format. Note that it's unclear what OOB stood for, and it has been left as-is without a proper first-use expansion of the acronym.

devlink: rename devlink-info-versions.rst and add a header Rename the devlink-info-versions.rst file to a plain devlink-info.rst file. Add additional paragraphs explaining what devlink-info is for, and the expectation that drivers use the generic names where plausible. Note that drivers which use non-standard info version names ought to document these in a driver-specific info-versions.rst file.

Driver-specific documentation
-----------------------------
Each driver that implements ``devlink`` is expected to document what
parameters, info versions, and other features it supports.
