When performing a flash update via devlink, device drivers may inform user space of status updates via devlink_flash_update_(begin|end|timeout|status)_notify functions. It is expected that drivers do not send any status notifications unless they send a begin and end message. If a driver sends a status notification without sending the appropriate end notification upon finishing (regardless of success or failure), the current implementation of the devlink userspace program can get stuck endlessly waiting for the end notification that will never come. The current ice driver implementation may send such a status message without the appropriate end notification in rare cases. Fixing the ice driver is relatively simple: we just need to send the begin_notify at the start of the function and always send an end_notify no matter how the function exits. Rather than assuming driver authors will always get this right in the future, lets just fix the API so that it is not possible to get wrong. Make devlink_flash_update_begin_notify and devlink_flash_update_end_notify static, and call them in devlink.c core code. Always send the begin_notify just before calling the driver's flash_update routine. Always send the end_notify just after the routine returns regardless of success or failure. Doing this makes the status notification easier to use from the driver, as it no longer needs to worry about catching failures and cleaning up by calling devlink_flash_update_end_notify. It is now no longer possible to do the wrong thing in this regard. We also save a couple of lines of code in each driver.
