6c39e015f8 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.

937d6eefc7 Merge tag 'docs-5.5a' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull Documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "Here are the main documentation changes for 5.5:

   - Various kerneldoc script enhancements.

   - More RST conversions; those are slowing down as we run out of
     things to convert, but we're a ways from done still.

   - Dan's "maintainer profile entry" work landed at last. Now we just
     need to get maintainers to fill in the profiles...

   - A reworking of the parallel build setup to work better with a
     variety of systems (and to not take over huge systems entirely in
     particular).

   - The MAINTAINERS file is now converted to RST during the build.
     Hopefully nobody ever tries to print this thing, or they will need
     to load a lot of paper.

   - A script and documentation making it easy for maintainers to add
     Link: tags at commit time.

  Also included is the removal of a bunch of spurious CR characters"

822cd114cd net: atlantic: implement UDP GSO offload
atlantic hardware does support UDP hardware segmentation offload.
This allows user to specify one large contiguous buffer with data
which then will be split automagically into multiple UDP packets
of specified size.

Bulk sending of large UDP streams lowers CPU usage and increases
bandwidth.

We did estimations both with udpgso_bench_tx test tool and with modified
iperf3 measurement tool (4 streams, multithread, 200b packet size)
over AQC<->AQC 10G link. Flow control is disabled to prevent RX side
impact on measurements.

No UDP GSO:
	iperf3 -c 10.0.1.2 -u -b0 -l 200 -P4 --multithread
UDP GSO:

40a962beeb Documentation: nfp: add nfp driver specific notes
This adds the initial documentation for the NFP driver specific
documentation.

Right now, only basic information is provided about acquiring firmware
and configuring device firmware loading.

Original driver documentation can be found here:

e890acd5ff net/mlx5: Add devlink flow_steering_mode parameter
Add new parameter (flow_steering_mode) to control the flow steering
mode of the driver.
Two modes are supported:
1. DMFS - Device managed flow steering
2. SMFS - Software/Driver managed flow steering.

In the DMFS mode, the HW steering entities are created through the
FW. In the SMFS mode this entities are created though the driver
directly.

The driver will use the devlink steering mode only if the steering
domain supports it, for now SMFS will manages only the switchdev eswitch
steering domain.

User command examples:
- Set SMFS flow steering mode::

    $ devlink dev param set pci/0000:06:00.0 name flow_steering_mode value "smfs" cmode runtime

- Read device flow steering mode::

    $ devlink dev param show pci/0000:06:00.0 name flow_steering_mode
      pci/0000:06:00.0:
      name flow_steering_mode type driver-specific
      values:
         cmode runtime value smfs
