a9844881ba devlink: remove implicit type set in port register
As we rely on caller zeroing or correctly set the struct before the call,
this implicit type set is either no-op (DEVLINK_PORT_TYPE_NOTSET is 0)
or it rewrites wanted value. So remove this.

bfcd3a4661 Introduce devlink infrastructure
Introduce devlink infrastructure for drivers to register and expose to
userspace via generic Netlink interface.

There are two basic objects defined:
devlink - one instance for every "parent device", for example switch ASIC
devlink port - one instance for every physical port of the device.

This initial portion implements basic get/dump of objects to userspace.
Also, port splitter and port type setting is implemented.
