+mlx5 devlink support
+====================
+
+This document describes the devlink features implemented by the ``mlx5``
+device driver.
+
+Parameters
+==========
+
+.. list-table:: Generic parameters implemented
+
+ * - Name
+ - Mode
+ * - ``enable_roce``
+ - driverinit
+
+The ``mlx5`` driver also implements the following driver-specific
+parameters.
+
+.. list-table:: Driver-specific parameters implemented
+ :widths: 5 5 5 85
+
+ * - Name
+ - Type
+ - Mode
+ - Description
+ * - ``flow_steering_mode``
+ - string
+ - runtime
+ - Controls the flow steering mode of the driver
+
+ * ``dmfs`` Device managed flow steering. In DMFS mode, the HW
+ steering entities are created and managed through firmware.
+ * ``smfs`` Software managed flow steering. In SMFS mode, the HW
+ steering entities are created and manage through the driver without
+ firmware intervention.
+
+The ``mlx5`` driver supports reloading via ``DEVLINK_CMD_RELOAD``
+
+Info versions
+=============
+
+The ``mlx5`` driver reports the following versions
+
+.. list-table:: devlink info versions implemented
+ :widths: 5 5 90
+
+ * - Name
+ - Type
+ - Description
+ * - ``fw.psid``
+ - fixed
+ - Used to represent the board id of the device.
+ * - ``fw.version``
+ - stored, running
+ - Three digit major.minor.subminor firmware version number.
