As part of the flows invoked by mlx5_devlink_eswitch_mode_set() get to mlx5_rescan_drivers_locked() which can call mlx5e_probe()/mlx5e_remove and register/unregister mlx5e driver ports accordingly. This can lead to deadlock once mlx5_devlink_eswitch_mode_set() will use devlink lock. Use devl_port_register/unregister() instead of devlink_port_register/unregister() and add devlink instance locks in the driver paths to this function to have it locked while calling devl_ API function. If remove or probe were called by module init or module cleanup flows, need to lock devlink just before calling devl_port_register(), otherwise it is called by attach/detach or register/unregister flow and we can have the flow locked. Added flag to distinguish between these cases. This will be used by the downstream patch to invoke mlx5_devlink_eswitch_mode_set() with devlink locked.

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.
