bnxt_en: add support to enable VF-representors
This patch is a part of a patch-set that introduces support for VF-reps in the bnxt_en driver. The driver registers eswitch mode get/set methods with the devlink interface that allow a user to enable SRIOV switchdev mode. When enabled, the driver registers a VF-rep netdev object for each VF with the stack. This can essentially bring the VFs unders the management perview of the hypervisor and applications such as OVS. The next patch in the series, adds the RX/TX routines and a slim netdev implementation for the VF-reps.
