We got rid of the bnxt_en_ops which the bnxt_re driver used to
communicate with bnxt_en.
Similarly  We have tried to clean up most of the bnxt_ulp_ops.
In most of the cases we used the functions and entry points provided
by the auxiliary bus driver framework.
As you can see in the v4, there are the minimal functions needed to
support the functionality.

We will try to work on getting rid of the remaining if we find any
other viable alternative for those in future.
