    Vadym Kochan authored
    Add PCI interface driver for Prestera Switch ASICs family devices, which
    provides:
    
        - Firmware loading mechanism
        - Requests & events handling to/from the firmware
        - Access to the firmware on the bus level
    
    The firmware has to be loaded each time the device is reset. The driver
    is loading it from:
    
        /lib/firmware/mrvl/prestera/mvsw_prestera_fw-v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.img
    
    The full firmware image version is located within the internal header
    and consists of 3 numbers - MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. Additionally, driver has
    hard-coded minimum supported firmware version which it can work with:
    
        MAJOR - reflects the support on ABI level between driver and loaded
                firmware, this number should be the same for driver and loaded
                firmware.
    
        MINOR - this is the minimum supported version between driver and the
                firmware.
    
        PATCH - indicates only fixes, firmware ABI is not changed.
    
    Firmware image file name contains only MAJOR and MINOR numbers to make
    driver be compatible with any PATCH version.
