devlink: add timeout information to status_notify
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 Signed-off-by: Shannon Nelson <snelson@pensando.io> Reviewed-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
