In order to be able to configure all needed stuff on a port/netdevice
of a line card without the line card being present, introduce line card
provisioning. Basically by setting a type, provisioning process will
start and driver is supposed to create a placeholder for instances
(ports/netdevices) for a line card type.
Allow the user to query the supported line card types over line card
get command. Then implement two netlink command SET to allow user to
set/unset the card type.
On the driver API side, add provision/unprovision ops and supported
types array to be advertised. Upon provision op call, the driver should
take care of creating the instances for the particular line card type.
Introduce provision_set/clear() functions to be called by the driver
once the provisioning/unprovisioning is done on its side. These helpers
are not to be called directly due to the async nature of provisioning.
Example:
$ devlink port # No ports are listed
$ devlink lc
pci/0000:01:00.0:
lc 1 state unprovisioned
supported_types:
16x100G
lc 2 state unprovisioned
supported_types:
16x100G
lc 3 state unprovisioned
supported_types:
16x100G
lc 4 state unprovisioned

lc 8 state unprovisioned

$ devlink lc set pci/0000:01:00.0 lc 8 type 16x100G
$ devlink lc show pci/0000:01:00.0 lc 8

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.
