For the record, I name it "bl" by analogy with the firmware which is named "fw". My personal preference would have been to name the fields without any abbreviations: "firmware", "bootloader" and "hardware.revision" (for reference ethtool -i uses "firmware-version"). But I tried to put my personal taste aside and try to fit with the devlink trends to abbreviate things. Thus the name "bl".
Yours sincerely, Vincent Mailhol
