device api - return related rack reservation(s)

[ITJamie]

NetBox version

v4.2.5

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

add "rack_reservations" to device responses.

Use case

when a device is in a rack and has a position. it would be great if the api response had a "rack_reservations" block which contained the reference of the reservation is a part of.

right now its a good bit of work to track down the related rack reservation of a racked device.

Database changes

note i say rack_reservations as it is technically possible for a device to be split across multiple reservations in a rack.

This seems like a poor use for the Device API endpoint. If you need to find the rack reservations for a device, then you want to use the Rack Reservation endpoint (at /api/dcim/rack-reservations/). The device representation in the device API is already pretty heavy, which is one of the main reasons to have a separate endpoint like this.

Perhaps we could add a device_id filter for the Rack Reservation endpoint. If you'd like to pursue that, please file a new FR.
