The devlink interface recently gained support for a new "overwrite mask" parameter that allows specifying how various sub-sections of a flash component are modified when updating. Add support for this to netdevsim, to enable easily testing the interface. Make the allowed overwrite mask values controllable via a debugfs parameter. This enables testing a flow where the driver rejects an unsupportable overwrite mask.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
