This adds standard documentation for the sysfs switchtec attributes and
a RST formatted text file which documents the char device interface.
Jonathan Corbet has indicated he will move this to a new user-space
developer documentation book once it's created.

* Turns out pushing the pci release code into the device release
function didn't work as I would have liked. If you try to unbind the
device with an instance open, then you hit a kernel bug at
drivers/pci/msi.c:371. (This didn't occur in v3.)
To solve this, we've moved t
Microsemi's "Switchtec" line of PCI switch devices is already well
supported by the kernel with standard PCI switch drivers. However, the
Switchtec device advertises a special management endpoint with a separate
PCI function address and class code. This endpoint enables some additional

This patch introduces a couple of special IOCTLs which are provided to:
* Inform userspace of firmware partition locations
* Pass event counts and allow userspace to wait on events
* Translate between PFF numbers used by the switch to
port numbers.

This patch adds a few read-only sysfs attributes which provide
some device information that is exposed from the devices. Primarily
component and device names and versions. These are documented in
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-switchtec.
