devlink: convert driver-specific files to reStructuredText Several drivers document what parameters they support in a devlink-params-*.txt file. This file is supposed to contain both the list of generic parameters implemented by the driver, as well as a list of driver-specific parameters and their descriptions. It would also be good if the driver documentation included other driver-specific implementations, such as info versions, devlink regions, and so forth. Convert all of these documentation files to reStructuredText, and rename them to just the driver name. Future changes will include other driver-specific implementations. Each file will contain a table for the generic parameters implemented, as well as a separate table for the driver-specific parameters. Future sections such as for devlink info versions will be added to these files. This avoids creating additional devlink-<feature>-<driver> files for each devlink feature, reducing clutter in the documentation folder.

mlxsw devlink support
=====================
This document describes the devlink features implemented by the ``mlxsw``
device driver.
Parameters
==========
.. list-table:: Generic parameters implemented
* - Name
- Mode
* - ``fw_load_policy``
- driverinit
The ``mlxsw`` driver also implements the following driver-specific
parameters.
.. list-table:: Driver-specific parameters implemented
:widths: 5 5 5 85
* - Name
- Type
- Mode
- Description
* - ``acl_region_rehash_interval``
- u32
- runtime
- Sets an interval for periodic ACL region rehashes. The value is
specified in milliseconds, with a minimum of ``3000``. The value of
``0`` disables periodic work entirely. The first rehash will be run
immediately after the value is set.
The ``mlxsw`` driver supports reloading via ``DEVLINK_CMD_RELOAD``
