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
