      mlxsw: Support firmware flash
      
      Add support for device firmware flash on mlxsw spectrum. The firmware files
      are expected to be in the Mellanox Firmware Archive version 2 (MFA2)
      format.
      
      The firmware flash is triggered on driver initialization time if the device
      firmware version does not meet the minimum firmware version supported by
      the driver.
      
      Currently, to activate the newly flashed firmware, the user needs to
      reboot his system.
      
      The first patch introduces the mlxfw module, which implements common logic
      needed for the firmware flash process on Mellanox products, such as the
      MFA2 format parsing and the firmware flash state machine logic. As the
      module implements common logic which will be needed by various different
      Mellanox drivers, it defines a set of callbacks needed to interact with the
      specific device.
      
      Patches 1-5 implement the needed mlxfw callbacks in the mlxsw spectrum
      driver.
      
      Patches 6 and 7 add boot-time firmware upgrade on the mlxsw spectrum
      driver.
      
      Patch 8 adds a fix needed for new firmware versions.
