qed: Update qed_hsi.h for fw 8.59.1.0

The qed_hsi.h has been updated to support new FW version 8.59.1.0 with
changes.
- Updates FW HSI (Hardware Software interface) structures.
- Addition/update in function declaration and defines as per HSI.
- Add generic infrastructure for FW error reporting as part of
common event queue handling.
- Move malicious VF error reporting to FW error reporting
infrastructure.
- Move consolidation queue initialization from FW context to ramrod
message.

qed_hsi.h header file changes lead to change in many files to ensure
compilation.

This patch also fixes the existing checkpatch warnings and few important
checks.

qed: Add NVMeTCP Offload Connection Level FW and HW HSI

This patch introduces the NVMeTCP HSI and HSI functionality in order to
initialize and interact with the HW device as part of the connection level
HSI.

This includes:
- Connection offload: offload a TCP connection to the FW.
- Connection update: update the ICReq-ICResp params
- Connection clear SQ: outstanding IOs FW flush.
- Connection termination: terminate the TCP connection and flush the FW.

net: qed: sanitize BE/LE data processing

Current code assumes that both host and device operates in Little Endian
in lots of places. While this is true for x86 platform, this doesn't mean
we should not care about this.

This commit addresses all parts of the code that were pointed out by sparse
checker. All operations with restricted (__be*/__le*) types are now
protected with explicit from/to CPU conversions, even if they're noops on
common setups.

I'm sure there are more such places, but this implies a deeper code
investigation, and is a subject for future works.

This patch adds driver changes for supporting the Unified Fabric Port

parameters to be used by the device such as traffic class, outer-vlan

qed*: Refactor mf_mode to consist of bits.

`mf_mode' field indicates the multi-partitioning mode the device is
configured to. This method doesn't scale very well, adding a new MF mode
requires going over all the existing conditions, and deciding whether those
are needed for the new mode or not.
The patch defines a set of bit-fields for modes which are derived according
to the mode info shared by the MFW and all the configuration would be made
according to those. To add a new mode, there would be a single place where
we'll need to go and choose which bits apply and which don't.

qed: SPQ async callback registration

Whenever firmware indicates that there's an async indication it needs
to handle, there's a switch-case where the right functionality is called
based on function's personality and information.

Before iWARP is added [as yet another client], switch over the SPQ into
a callback-registered mechanism, allowing registration of the relevant
event-processing logic based on the function's personality. This allows
us to tidy the code by removing protocol-specifics from a common file.

qed: fix handling of concurrent ramrods.

Concurrent non-blocking slowpath ramrods can be completed
out-of-order on the completion chain. Recycling completed elements,

successive completed entries.

qed: Add module with basic common support

The Qlogic Everest Driver is the backend module for the QL4xxx ethernet
products by Qlogic.

This module serves two main purposes:
1. It's responsible to contain all the common code that will be shared
between the various drivers that would be used with said line of
products. Flows such as chip initialization and de-initialization
fall under this category.

2. It would abstract the protocol-specific HW & FW components, allowing
the protocol drivers to have a clean APIs which is detached in its
slowpath configuration from the actual HSI.

This adds a very basic module without any protocol-specific bits.
I.e., this adds a basic implementation that almost entirely falls under
the first category.
