Following along from Jason's work [1] we have our initial patchset
for pds_fwctl - an auxiliary_bus driver for supporting fwctl through the
pds_core driver and its PDS core device.

The PDS core is PCI device that is separate and distinct from the
ionic Eth device and from the other PCI devices that can be supported
by the AMD/Pensando DSC.  It is used by pds_vdpa and pds_vfio_pci to
coordinate/communicate with the FW for setting up their services.

Until now the DSC's basic configurations for defining what devices to
support and for getting low-level device debug information have been
through internal commands not available from the host side, requiring
access into the DSC's own OS.  Adding the fwctl service allows us to start
bringing these capabilities up into the host, but they don't replace the
existing function-specific tools.  For example, these are things that make
the Eth PCI device appear on the PCI bus, while the tuning of the specific
Eth features still go through the standard ethtool/devlink/ip/etc tools.

The first two patches are a bit of clean up for pds_core's add and delete
of auxiliary_devices.  Those are followed by a patch to add the new
pds_core.fwctl auxiliary_device.  This is only supported by the pds_core
PF and not on any VFs.

The remaining patches add the pds_fwctl driver framework and then fill
in the details for the fwctl services.

v2:
  - removed the RFC tag

  - fix up error handling if pdsc_auxbus_dev_add() fails in probe (Jonathan)
  - fix auxiliary spelling in commit subject header (Jonathan)
  - clean up of code around use of __free() gizmo (Jonathan, David)
  - removed extra whitespace and dev_xxx() calls (Leon)
  - copy ident info from DMA and release DMA memory in probe (Jonathan)
  - use dev_err_probe() (Jonathan)
  - add counted_by_le(num_entries) (Jonathan, David)
  - convert num_entries from __le32 to host in get_endpoints() (Jonathan)
  - remove unnecessary variable inits (Jonathan, Leon)
