Bjorn Helgaas 7328c8f48d PCI: Add SPDX GPL-2.0 when no license was specified
b24413180f ("License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to
files with no license") added SPDX GPL-2.0 to several PCI files that
previously contained no license information.

Add SPDX GPL-2.0 to all other PCI files that did not contain any license
information and hence were under the default GPL version 2 license of the
kernel.

Logan Gunthorpe 080b47def5 MicroSemi Switchtec management interface driver
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
functionality which includes:

 * Packet and Byte Counters
 * Switch Firmware Upgrades
 * Event and Error logs
 * Querying port link status
 * Custom user firmware commands

Add a switchtec kernel module which provides PCI driver that exposes a char
device.  The char device provides userspace access to this interface
through read, write and (optionally) poll calls.

A userspace tool and library which utilizes this interface is available
at [1].  This tool takes inspiration (and borrows some code) from
nvme-cli [2].  The tool is largely complete at this time but additional
features may be added in the future.
