    devlink: prepare to support region operations · e8937681
    Jacob Keller authored
    Modify the devlink region code in preparation for adding new operations
    on regions.
    
    Create a devlink_region_ops structure, and move the name pointer from
    within the devlink_region structure into the ops structure (similar to
    the devlink_health_reporter_ops).
    
    This prepares the regions to enable support of additional operations in
    the future such as requesting snapshots, or accessing the region
    directly without a snapshot.
    
    In order to re-use the constant strings in the mlx4 driver their
    declaration must be changed to 'const char * const' to ensure the
    compiler realizes that both the data and the pointer cannot change.
