Add a devlink interface for access to information that isn't
normally available through ethtool or the iplink interface.

Example:

	    "info": {
		"pci/0000:b6:00.0": {

Hm. Fixed is for hardware components. Seeing FW version reported as
fixed seems counter intuitive.  You probably want "running"?

I don't think this is the right interface to report status-like
information.  Perhaps devlink health reporters?
			    "fw_heartbeat": "0x716ce",
Ditto, perhaps best to report it in health stuff?
			    "asic_type": "0x0",
			    "asic_rev": "0x0"
These seem like legit "fixed" versions 👍

		    }

Isn't this a new patch? Perhaps you'd be best off upstreaming the
first batch of support and add features later? It'd be easier on
reviewers so we don't have to keep re-checking the first 16 patches..
