Revert "Merge branch 'mlxsw-line-card-model'"

This reverts commit 5e927a9f4b9f29d78a7c7d66ea717bb5c8bbad8e, reversing
changes made to cfc1d91a7d78cf9de25b043d81efcc16966d55b3.

The discussion is still ongoing so let's remove the uAPI
until the discussion settles.

devlink: introduce line card device info infrastructure

Extend the line card info message with information (e.g., FW version)
about devices found on the line card.

Example:
$ devlink lc info pci/0000:01:00.0 lc 8
pci/0000:01:00.0:
lc 8

devlink: introduce line card info get message

Allow the driver to provide per line card info get op to fill-up info,
similar to the "devlink dev info".

Example:

$ devlink lc info pci/0000:01:00.0 lc 8
pci/0000:01:00.0:
lc 8
versions:
fixed:
hw.revision 0

devlink: implement line card active state

Allow driver to mark a line card as active. Expose this state to the
userspace over devlink netlink interface with proper notifications.
'active' state means that line card was plugged in after
being provisioned.

devlink: implement line card provisioning

In order to be able to configure all needed stuff on a port/netdevice
of a line card without the line card being present, introduce line card
provisioning. Basically by setting a type, provisioning process will
start and driver is supposed to create a placeholder for instances
(ports/netdevices) for a line card type.

Allow the user to query the supported line card types over line card
get command. Then implement two netlink command SET to allow user to
set/unset the card type.

On the driver API side, add provision/unprovision ops and supported
types array to be advertised. Upon provision op call, the driver should
take care of creating the instances for the particular line card type.
Introduce provision_set/clear() functions to be called by the driver
once the provisioning/unprovisioning is done on its side. These helpers
are not to be called directly due to the async nature of provisioning.

Example:
$ devlink port # No ports are listed
$ devlink lc
pci/0000:01:00.0:
lc 1 state unprovisioned
supported_types:
16x100G
lc 2 state unprovisioned
supported_types:
16x100G
lc 3 state unprovisioned
supported_types:
16x100G
lc 4 state unprovisioned
supported_types:
16x100G
lc 5 state unprovisioned
supported_types:
16x100G
lc 6 state unprovisioned

16x100G
lc 7 state unprovisioned
supported_types:
16x100G
lc 8 state unprovisioned
supported_types:
16x100G

$ devlink lc set pci/0000:01:00.0 lc 8 type 16x100G
$ devlink lc show pci/0000:01:00.0 lc 8
