devlink: Add API to register and unregister single parameter
Currently device configuration parameters can be registered as an array. Due to this a constant array must be registered. A single driver supporting multiple devices each with different device capabilities end up registering all parameters even if it doesn't support it. One possible workaround a driver can do is, it registers multiple single entry arrays to overcome such limitation. Better is to provide a API that enables driver to register/unregister a single parameter. This also further helps in two ways. (1) to reduce the memory of devlink_param_entry by avoiding in registering parameters which are not supported by the device. (2) avoid generating multiple parameter add, delete, publish, unpublish, init value notifications for such unsupported parameters Signed-off-by: Parav Pandit <parav@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
