    devlink: add timeout information to status_notify · f92970c6
    Shannon Nelson authored
    Add a timeout element to the DEVLINK_CMD_FLASH_UPDATE_STATUS
    netlink message for use by a userland utility to show that
    a particular firmware flash activity may take a long but
    bounded time to finish.  Also add a handy helper for drivers
    to make use of the new timeout value.
    
    UI usage hints:
     - if non-zero, add timeout display to the end of the status line
     	[component] status_msg  ( Xm Ys : Am Bs )
         using the timeout value for Am Bs and updating the Xm Ys
         every second
     - if the timeout expires while awaiting the next update,
       display something like
     	[component] status_msg  ( timeout reached : Am Bs )
     - if new status notify messages are received, remove
       the timeout and start over
