Address the need for a recovery method (firmware flash on Firmware errors)
introduced in the later patches of Xe KMD.
Whenever XE KMD detects a firmware error, a firmware flash is required to
recover the device to normal operation.
The initial proposal to use 'firmware-flash' as a recovery method was
not applicable to other drivers and could cause multiple recovery
methods specific to vendors to be added.
To address this a more generic 'vendor-specific' method is introduced,
guiding users to refer to vendor specific documentation and system logs
for detailed vendor specific recovery procedure.
Add a recovery method 'WEDGED=vendor-specific' for such errors.
Vendors must provide additional recovery documentation if this method
is used.
It is the responsibility of the consumer to refer to the correct vendor
specific documentation and usecase before attempting a recovery.
For example: If driver is XE KMD, the consumer must refer
to the documentation of 'Device Wedging' under 'Documentation/gpu/xe/'.
v2: fix documentation (Raag)
v3: add more details to commit message (Sima, Rodrigo, Raag)
add an example script to the documentation (Raag)
v4: use consistent naming (Raag)
v5: fix commit message
v6: add more documentation

README
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 reStructuredText 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.
