Bug description:
[Impact]
Add initial support for Intel(R) E610 Series of network devices. The E610
is based on X550 but adds firmware managed link, enhanced security
capabilities and support for updated server manageability.

Additionally, this is needed for Charmed Openstack Jammy/Caracal
deployment. It requires servers to be on 22.04 Jammy (HWE kernel 6.8).
Some servers f.e. Dell PowerEdge uses Intel NIC E610 and if this nic
is planned to be used for PXE boot and to access the internet this
missing functionality will effectively disqualify those servers from
the approved HW for Openstack since NIC will not be detected by the
OS.

[Fix]

This patch series adds low level support for the following features and
enables link management.

b1e44b4 ixgbe: fix media cage present detection for E610 device
4020659 ixgbe: fix media type detection for E610 device
4600cdf ixgbe: Enable link management in E610 device
34b4157 ixgbe: Clean up the E610 link management related code
a0834bd ixgbe: Add ixgbe_x540 multiple header inclusion protection
e5b132b ixgbe: Add support for EEPROM dump in E610 device
d2483eb ixgbe: Add support for NVM handling in E610 device
23c0e5a ixgbe: Add link management support for E610 device
7c3aa0fc ixgbe: Add support for E610 device capabilities detection
46761fd ixgbe: Add support for E610 FW Admin Command Interface

[Test Case]

1. Install the test kernel and reboot

2. Verify the Intel E610 is available on the system
    - Verify the E610 is in lspci network output

3. Configure the ports and ping an external IP address

4. Run Iperf from the SUT to an external iperf server

[Where problems could occur]

The regression risk is low. There are no core kernel changes. Changes
are primarily to the ixgbe driver (drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/)
adding support for the Intel E610 device. The majority of the changes
are in newly added files (ixgbe_e610.c ixgbe_type_e610.h). There are
some minor refactoring to existing ixgbe code involving the x540 and
x550 nics but existing device behavior isn't changed it's just shared
with E610.
