Sections of device flash may contain settings or device identifying information. When performing a flash update, it is generally expected that these settings and identifiers are not overwritten. However, it may sometimes be useful to allow overwriting these fields when performing a flash update. Some examples include, 1) customizing the initial device config on first programming, such as overwriting default device identifying information, or 2) reverting a device configuration to known good state provided in the new firmware image, or 3) in case it is suspected that current firmware logic for managing the preservation of fields during an update is broken. Although some devices are able to completely separate these types of settings and fields into separate components, this is not true for all hardware. To support controlling this behavior, a new DEVLINK_ATTR_FLASH_UPDATE_OVERWRITE_MASK is defined. This is an nla_bitfield32 which will define what subset of fields in a component should be overwritten during an update. If no bits are specified, or of the overwrite mask is not provided, then an update should not overwrite anything, and should maintain the settings and identifiers as they are in the previous image. If the overwrite mask has the DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_SETTINGS bit set, then the device should be configured to overwrite any of the settings in the requested component with settings found in the provided image. Similarly, if the DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_IDENTIFIERS bit is set, the device should be configured to overwrite any device identifiers in the requested component with the identifiers from the image. Multiple overwrite modes may be combined to indicate that a combination of the set of fields that should be overwritten. Drivers which support the new overwrite mask must set the DEVLINK_SUPPORT_FLASH_UPDATE_OVERWRITE_MASK in the supported_flash_update_params field of their devlink_ops.
