net: marvell: prestera: Add PCI interface support
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.
