Introducing bnxt_fwctl which follows along Jason's work [1].
It is an aux bus driver that enables fwctl for Broadcom
NetXtreme 574xx, 575xx and 576xx series chipsets by using
bnxt driver's capability to talk to devices' firmware.
The first patch moves the ULP definitions to a common place
inside include/linux/bnxt/. The second and third patches
refactor and extend the existing bnxt aux bus functions to
be able to add more than one auxiliary device. The last three
patches create an additional bnxt aux device, add bnxt_fwctl,
and the documentation.

v2: In patch #5, fixed a sparse warning where a __le16 was
degraded to an integer. Also addressed kdoc warnings for
include/uapi/fwctl/bnxt.h in the same patch.
