All drivers which implement the devlink flash update support, with the
exception of netdevsim, use either request_firmware or
request_firmware_direct to locate the firmware file. Rather than having
each driver do this separately as part of its .flash_update
implementation, perform the request_firmware within net/core/devlink.c
Replace the file_name parameter in the struct devlink_flash_update_params
with a pointer to the fw object.
Use request_firmware rather than request_firmware_direct. Although most
Linux distributions today do not have the fallback mechanism
implemented, only about half the drivers used the _direct request, as
compared to the generic request_firmware. In the event that
a distribution does support the fallback mechanism, the devlink flash
update ought to be able to use it to provide the firmware contents. For
distributions which do not support the fallback userspace mechanism,
there should be essentially no difference between request_firmware and
request_firmware_direct.

Add support for firmware update through the devlink interface.
This update copies the firmware object into the device, asks
the current firmware to install it, then asks the firmware to
select the new firmware for the next boot-up.
The install and select steps are launched as asynchronous
requests, which are then followed up with status request
commands. These status request commands will be answered with
an EAGAIN return value and will try again until the request
has completed or reached the timeout specified.

The ionic device has a small set of PCI registers, including a
device control and data space, and a large set of message
commands.
Also adds new DEVLINK_INFO_VERSION_GENERIC tags for
ASIC_ID, ASIC_REV, and FW.

This patch adds a basic driver framework for the Pensando IONIC
network device. There is no functionality right now other than
the ability to load and unload.
