    net: hns3: Support tlv in regs data for HNS3 VF driver · 3ef5d70b
    Jijie Shao authored
    The dump register function is being refactored.
    The third step in refactoring is to support tlv info in regs data for
    HNS3 PF driver.
    
    Currently, if we use "ethtool -d" to dump regs value,
    the output is as follows:
      offset1: 00 01 02 03 04 05 ...
      offset2:10 11 12 13 14 15 ...
      ......
    
    We can't get the value of a register directly.
    
    This patch deletes the original separator information and
    add tag_len_value information in regs data.
    ethtool can parse register data in key-value format by -d command.
    
    a patch will be added to the ethtool to parse regs data
    in the following format:
      reg1 : value2
      reg2 : value2
      ......
