Vincent Mailhol f20a0a0519 ethtool: doc: clarify what drivers can implement in their get_drvinfo() 
Many of the drivers which implement ethtool_ops::get_drvinfo() will
prints the .driver, .version or .bus_info of struct ethtool_drvinfo.
To have a glance of current state, do:

  $ git grep -W "get_drvinfo(struct"

Printing in those three fields is useless because:

  - since [1], the driver version should be the kernel version (at
    least for upstream drivers). Arguably, out of tree drivers might
    still want to set a custom version, but out of tree is not our
    focus.

  - since [2], the core is able to provide default values for .driver
    and .bus_info.

In summary, drivers may provide .fw_version and .erom_version, the
rest is expected to be done by the core.

In struct ethtool_ops doc from linux/ethtool: rephrase field
get_drvinfo() doc to discourage developers from implementing this
callback.

In struct ethtool_drvinfo doc from uapi/linux/ethtool.h: remove the
paragraph mentioning what drivers should do. Rationale: no need to
repeat what is already written in struct ethtool_ops doc. But add a
note that .fw_version and .erom_version are driver defined.

Also update the dummy driver and simply remove the callback in order
not to confuse the newcomers: most of the drivers will not need this
callback function any more.

[1] commit 6a7e25c7fb ("net/core: Replace driver version to be
    kernel version")
Link: https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/linux/c/6a7e25c7fb48

[2] commit edaf5df22c ("ethtool: ethtool_get_drvinfo: populate
    drvinfo fields even if callback exits")
Link: https://git.kernel.org/netdev/net-next/c/edaf5df22cb8
