9c857a9d84Address the need for a recovery method (firmware flash on Firmware errors)
introduced in the later patches of Xe KMD.
Whenever XE KMD detects a firmware error, a firmware flash is required to
recover the device to normal operation.
The initial proposal to use 'firmware-flash' as a recovery method was
not applicable to other drivers and could cause multiple recovery
methods specific to vendors to be added.
To address this a more generic 'vendor-specific' method is introduced,
guiding users to refer to vendor specific documentation and system logs
for detailed vendor specific recovery procedure.
Add a recovery method 'WEDGED=vendor-specific' for such errors.
Vendors must provide additional recovery documentation if this method
is used.
It is the responsibility of the consumer to refer to the correct vendor
specific documentation and usecase before attempting a recovery.
For example: If driver is XE KMD, the consumer must refer
to the documentation of 'Device Wedging' under 'Documentation/gpu/xe/'.
