ethtool -i has served us well for a long time, but its showing its limitations more and more. The device information should also be reported per device not per-netdev. Lay foundation for a simple devlink-based way of reading device info. Add driver name and device serial number as initial pieces of information exposed via this new API. v3: - rename helpers (Jiri); - rename driver name attr (Jiri); - remove double spacing in commit message (Jiri). RFC v2: - wrap the skb into an opaque structure (Jiri); - allow the serial number of be any length (Jiri & Andrew); - add driver name (Jonathan).

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.
