devlink: net/mlx5: implement swp_l4_csum_mode via devlink params
This series introduces a new devlink feature for querying param
default values, and resetting params to their default values. This
feature is then used to implement a new mlx5 driver param.
The series starts with two pure refactor patches: one that passes
through the extack to devlink_param::get() implementations. And a
second small refactor that prepares the netlink tlv handling code in
the devlink_param::get() path to better handle default parameter
values.
The third patch introduces the uapi and driver api for default
parameter values. The driver api is opt-in, and both the uapi and
driver api preserve existing behavior when not used by drivers or
userspace.
The fourth patch introduces a new mlx5 driver param, swp_l4_csum_mode,
for controlling tx csum behavior. The "l4_only" value of this param is
a dependency for PSP initialization on CX7 NICs.
Lastly, the series introduces a new driver param with cmode runtime to
netdevsim, and then uses this param in a new testcase for netdevsim
devlink params.
Here are some examples of using the default param uapi with the devlink
cli. Note the devlink cli binary I am using has changes which I am
posting in accompanying series targeting iproute2-next:

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 reStructuredText 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.
