Yotam Gigi 410ed13cae Add the mlxfw module for Mellanox firmware flash process
The mlxfw module is in charge of common logic needed to flash Mellanox
devices firmware, which consists of:
 - Parse the Mellanox Firmware Archive version 2 (MFA2) format, which is
   the format used to store the Mellanox firmware. The MFA2 format file can
   hold firmware for many different silicon variants, differentiated by a
   unique ID called PSID. In addition, the MFA2 file data section is
   compressed using xz compression to save both file-system space and
   memory at extraction time.
 - Implement the firmware flash state machine logic, which is a common
   logic for Mellanox products needed to flash the firmware to the device.

As the module is shared between different Mellanox products, it defines a
set of callbacks to be implemented by the specific driver for hardware
interaction.

Jiri Pirko 93c1edb27f mlxsw: Introduce Mellanox switch driver core
Add core components of Mellanox switch driver infrastructure.
Core infrastructure is designed so that it can be used by multiple
bus drivers (PCI now, I2C and SGMII are planned to be implemented
in the future). Multiple switch kind drivers can be registered as well.
This core serves as a glue between buses and drivers.

Eli Cohen e126ba97db mlx5: Add driver for Mellanox Connect-IB adapters
The driver is comprised of two kernel modules: mlx5_ib and mlx5_core.
This partitioning resembles what we have for mlx4, except that mlx5_ib
is the pci device driver and not mlx5_core.

mlx5_core is essentially a library that provides general functionality
that is intended to be used by other Mellanox devices that will be
introduced in the future.  mlx5_ib has a similar role as any hardware
device under drivers/infiniband/hw.
