Linux kernel for uConsole

When implementing .flash_update, drivers which do not support per-component update are manually checking the component parameter to verify that it is NULL. Without this check, the driver might accept an update request with a component specified even though it will not honor such a request. Instead of having each driver check this, move the logic into net/core/devlink.c, and use a new `supported_flash_update_params` field in the devlink_ops. Drivers which will support per-component update must now specify this by setting DEVLINK_SUPPORT_FLASH_UPDATE_COMPONENT in the supported_flash_update_params in their devlink_ops. This helps ensure that drivers do not forget to check for a NULL component if they do not support per-component update. This also enables a slightly better error message by enabling the core stack to set the netlink bad attribute message to indicate precisely the unsupported attribute in the message. Going forward, any new additional parameter to flash update will require a bit in the supported_flash_update_params bitfield.

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.
