staging: fsl-mc: convert mc command build/parse to use C structs
The layer abstracting the building of commands and extracting responses is currently based on macros that shift and mask the command fields and requires exposing offset/size values as macro parameters and makes the code harder to read. For clarity and maintainability, instead use an implementation based on mapping the MC command definitions to C structures. These structures contain the hardware command fields (which are naturally-aligned) and individual fields are little-endian ordering (the byte ordering of the hardware). As such, there is no need to perform the conversion between core and hardware (LE) endianness in mc_send_command(), but instead each individual field in a command will be converted separately if needed by the function building the command or extracting the response. This patch does not introduce functional changes, both the hardware ABIs and the APIs exposed for the DPAA2 objects remain the same.
