devlink: rename devlink-info-versions.rst and add a header Rename the devlink-info-versions.rst file to a plain devlink-info.rst file. Add additional paragraphs explaining what devlink-info is for, and the expectation that drivers use the generic names where plausible. Note that drivers which use non-standard info version names ought to document these in a driver-specific info-versions.rst file.

devlink: expand the devlink-info documentation We are having multiple review cycles with all vendors trying to implement devlink-info. Let's expand the documentation with more information about what's implemented and motivation behind this interface in an attempt to make the implementations easier. Describe what each info section is supposed to contain, and make some references to other HW interfaces (PCI caps). Document how firmware management is expected to look, to make it clear how devlink-info and devlink-flash work in concert.
