Fix counter name in documentation of mlx5 vnic health reporter diagnose
output: total_error_queues.
While here fix alignment in the documentation file of another counter,
comp_eq_overrun, as it should have its own line and not be part of
another counter's description.
Example:

vNIC env counters:
total_error_queues: 0 send_queue_priority_update_flow: 0
comp_eq_overrun: 0 async_eq_overrun: 0 cq_overrun: 0

Add a note when using esw_port_metadata. The parameter has runtime
mode but setting it does not take effect immediately. Setting it must
happen in legacy mode, and the port metadata takes effects when the
switchdev mode is enabled.
Disable eswitch port metadata::
$ devlink dev param set pci/0000:06:00.0 name esw_port_metadata value \
false cmode runtime
Change eswitch mode to switchdev mode where after choosing the metadata value::
$ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:06:00.0 mode switchdev
Note that other mlx5 devlink runtime parameters, esw_multiport and
flow_steering_mode, do not have this limitation.

A new check for the tx devlink health reporter is introduced for
determining when the PTP port timestamping SQ is considered unhealthy. If
there are enough CQEs considered never to be delivered, the space that can
be utilized on the SQ decreases significantly, impacting performance and
usability of the SQ. The health reporter is triggered when the number of
likely never delivered port timestamping CQEs that utilize the space of the
PTP SQ is greater than 93.75% of the total capacity of the SQ. A devlink
health reporter recover method is also provided for this specific TX error
context that restarts the PTP SQ.

We refer to a TC NIC rule that involves forwarding as "hairpin".
Hairpin queues are mlx5 hardware specific implementation for hardware
forwarding of such packets.
Per the discussion in [1], move the hairpin queues control (number and
size) from debugfs to devlink.
Expose two devlink params:
- hairpin_num_queues: control the number of hairpin queues
- hairpin_queue_size: control the size (in packets) of the hairpin queues

MultiPort E-Switch builds on newer hardware's capabilities and introduces
a mode where a single E-Switch is used and all the vports and physical
ports on the NIC are connected to it.
The new mode will allow in the future a decrease in the memory used by the
driver and advanced features that aren't possible today.
This represents a big change in the current E-Switch implantation in mlx5.
Currently, by default, each E-Switch manager manages its E-Switch.
Steering rules in each E-Switch can only forward traffic to the native
physical port associated with that E-Switch. While there are ways to target
non-native physical ports, for example using a bond or via special TC
rules. None of the ways allows a user to configure the driver
to operate by default in such a mode nor can the driver decide
to move to this mode by default as it's user configuration-driven right now.
While MultiPort E-Switch single FDB mode is the preferred mode, older
generations of ConnectX hardware couldn't support this mode so it was never
implemented. Now that there is capable hardware present, start the
transition to having this mode by default.
Introduce a devlink parameter to control MultiPort E-Switch single FDB mode.
This will allow users to select this mode on their system right now
and in the future will allow the driver to move to this mode by default.
Example:
$ devlink dev param set pci/0000:00:0b.0 name esw_multiport value 1 \
cmode runtime

Add a devlink parameter to control the number of large groups in a
autogrouped flow table. The default value is 15, and the range is between 1
and 1024.
The size of each large group can be calculated according to the following
formula: size = 4M / (fdb_large_groups + 1).
Examples:
- Set the number of large groups to 20.
$ devlink dev param set pci/0000:82:00.0 name fdb_large_groups \
cmode driverinit value 20
Then run devlink reload command to apply the new value.
$ devlink dev reload pci/0000:82:00.0
- Read the number of large groups in flow table.
$ devlink dev param show pci/0000:82:00.0 name fdb_large_groups
pci/0000:82:00.0:
name fdb_large_groups type driver-specific
values:
cmode driverinit value 20

Several drivers document what parameters they support in
a devlink-params-*.txt file. This file is supposed to contain both the
list of generic parameters implemented by the driver, as well as a list
of driver-specific parameters and their descriptions.
It would also be good if the driver documentation included other
driver-specific implementations, such as info versions, devlink
regions, and so forth.
Convert all of these documentation files to reStructuredText, and rename
them to just the driver name. Future changes will include other
driver-specific implementations. Each file will contain a table for the
generic parameters implemented, as well as a separate table for the
driver-specific parameters.
Future sections such as for devlink info versions will be added to these
files. This avoids creating additional devlink-<feature>-<driver> files
for each devlink feature, reducing clutter in the documentation folder.
