+===================
+ice devlink support
+===================
+
+This document describes the devlink features implemented by the ``ice``
+device driver.
+
+Info versions
+=============
+
+The ``ice`` driver reports the following versions
+
+.. list-table:: devlink info versions implemented
+ :widths: 5 5 5 90
+
+ * - Name
+ - Type
+ - Example
+ - Description
+ * - ``board.id``
+ - fixed
+ - K65390-000
+ - The Product Board Assembly (PBA) identifier of the board.
+ * - ``fw.mgmt``
+ - running
+ - 2.1.7
+ - 3-digit version number of the management firmware that controls the
+ PHY, link, etc.
+ * - ``fw.mgmt.api``
+ - running
+ - 1.5
+ - 2-digit version number of the API exported over the AdminQ by the
+ management firmware. Used by the driver to identify what commands
+ are supported.
+ * - ``fw.mgmt.build``
+ - running
+ - 0x305d955f
+ - Unique identifier of the source for the management firmware.
+ * - ``fw.undi``
+ - running
+ - 1.2581.0
+ - Version of the Option ROM containing the UEFI driver. The version is
+ reported in ``major.minor.patch`` format. The major version is
+ incremented whenever a major breaking change occurs, or when the
+ minor version would overflow. The minor version is incremented for
+ non-breaking changes and reset to 1 when the major version is
+ incremented. The patch version is normally 0 but is incremented when
+ a fix is delivered as a patch against an older base Option ROM.
+ * - ``fw.psid.api``
+ - running
+ - 0.80
+ - Version defining the format of the flash contents.
+ * - ``fw.bundle_id``
+ - running
+ - 0x80002ec0
+ - Unique identifier of the firmware image file that was loaded onto
+ the device. Also referred to as the EETRACK identifier of the NVM.
+ * - ``fw.app.name``
+ - running
+ - ICE OS Default Package
+ - The name of the DDP package that is active in the device. The DDP
+ package is loaded by the driver during initialization. Each
+ variation of the DDP package has a unique name.
+ * - ``fw.app``
+ - running
+ - 1.3.1.0
+ - The version of the DDP package that is active in the device. Note
+ that both the name (as reported by ``fw.app.name``) and version are
+ required to uniquely identify the package.
+ * - ``fw.app.bundle_id``
+ - running
+ - 0xc0000001
+ - Unique identifier for the DDP package loaded in the device. Also
+ referred to as the DDP Track ID. Can be used to uniquely identify
+ the specific DDP package.
+ * - ``fw.netlist``
+ - running
+ - 1.1.2000-6.7.0
+ - The version of the netlist module. This module defines the device's
+ Ethernet capabilities and default settings, and is used by the
+ management firmware as part of managing link and device
+ connectivity.
+ * - ``fw.netlist.build``
+ - running
+ - 0xee16ced7
+ - The first 4 bytes of the hash of the netlist module contents.
+
+Flash Update
+============
+
+The ``ice`` driver implements support for flash update using the
+``devlink-flash`` interface. It supports updating the device flash using a
+combined flash image that contains the ``fw.mgmt``, ``fw.undi``, and
+``fw.netlist`` components.
+
+.. list-table:: List of supported overwrite modes
+ :widths: 5 95
+
+ * - Bits
+ - Behavior
+ * - ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_SETTINGS``
+ - Do not preserve settings stored in the flash components being
+ updated. This includes overwriting the port configuration that
+ determines the number of physical functions the device will
+ initialize with.
+ * - ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_SETTINGS`` and ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_IDENTIFIERS``
+ - Do not preserve either settings or identifiers. Overwrite everything
+ in the flash with the contents from the provided image, without
+ performing any preservation. This includes overwriting device
+ identifying fields such as the MAC address, VPD area, and device
+ serial number. It is expected that this combination be used with an
+ image customized for the specific device.
+
+The ice hardware does not support overwriting only identifiers while
+preserving settings, and thus ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_IDENTIFIERS`` on its
+own will be rejected. If no overwrite mask is provided, the firmware will be
+instructed to preserve all settings and identifying fields when updating.
+
+Regions
+=======
+
+The ``ice`` driver implements the following regions for accessing internal
+device data.
+
+.. list-table:: regions implemented
+ :widths: 15 85
+
+ * - Name
+ - Description
+ * - ``nvm-flash``
+ - The contents of the entire flash chip, sometimes referred to as
+ the device's Non Volatile Memory.
+ * - ``device-caps``
+ - The contents of the device firmware's capabilities buffer. Useful to
+ determine the current state and configuration of the device.
+
+Users can request an immediate capture of a snapshot via the
+``DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_NEW``
