driver core: Fix device link device name collision

The device link device's name was of the form:
<supplier-dev-name>--<consumer-dev-name>

This can cause name collision as reported here [1] as device names are
not globally unique. Since device names have to be unique within the
bus/class, add the bus/class name as a prefix to the device names used to
construct the device link device name.

So the devuce link device's name will be of the form:
<supplier-bus-name>:<supplier-dev-name>--<consumer-bus-name>:<consumer-dev-name>

docs: ABI: cleanup several ABI documents

There are some ABI documents that, while they don't generate
any warnings, they have issues when parsed by get_abi.pl script
on its output result.

Address them, in order to provide a clean output.

driver core: Change delimiter in devlink device's name to "--"

The devlink device name is of the form "supplier:consumer". But ":" is
fairly common in device names and makes it visually hard to distinguish
supplier and consumer. So, replace it with "--" to make it easier.

driver core: Expose device link details in sysfs

It's helpful to be able to look at device link details from sysfs. So,
expose it in sysfs.

Say device-A is supplier of device-B. These are the additional files
this patch would create:

/sys/class/devlink/device-A:device-B/
auto_remove_on
consumer/ -> .../device-B/
runtime_pm
status
supplier/ -> .../device-A/
sync_state_only

/sys/devices/.../device-A/
consumer:device-B/ -> /sys/class/devlink/device-A:device-B/

/sys/devices/.../device-B/
supplier:device-A/ -> /sys/class/devlink/device-A:device-B/

That way:
To get a list of all the device link in the system:
ls /sys/class/devlink/

To get the consumer names and links of a device:
ls -d /sys/devices/.../device-X/consumer:*

To get the supplier names and links of a device:
ls -d /sys/devices/.../device-X/supplier:*
