This series continues the DingHai (ZXDH) PF driver bring-up: after PCI
probing, it verifies the firmware version contract, waits for the
RISC-V management core to become ready, sets up the MSI-X interrupt
pools, and creates the async event queues through which the firmware
will report events.

Some notes on the IRQ design:

The vector space is partitioned into per-purpose pools (async, RDMA,
vq). Event queues share a vector through an atomic notifier chain
attached to the IRQ, and the sharing degree is governed by pool
thresholds. The IRQ table hangs off a void *priv in the shared core
device: the PF, MPF and SF core devices each carry a different pool
layout behind that pointer, so a type-specific struct in en_pf.c keeps
the shared header free of PF-only details.

Changes in v2:
- Convert both firmware readiness polls to readx_poll_timeout()
(Andrew Lunn).
- Read the fw compat block field by field through ioread*() accessors
instead of an ioread32_rep() bulk copy, which misplaces the u8/u16
fields on big-endian; no __le annotations are needed since each
accessor converts from little-endian (Andrew Lunn).
- Use kref for the IRQ reference count (Andrew Lunn).

Junyang Han (3):
dinghai: add firmware version check and RISC-V readiness polling
dinghai: add MSI-X interrupt pools
dinghai: add async event queue for firmware notifications
