With some OFED or upstream kernel of mlx5, the port name fetched from
"/sys/class/net/[DEV]/phys_port_name" may have a tailing "\n" as the
EOL. The sscanf() will return the scanned items number with this EOL.
In such case, the "equal to" condition is considered as false and
the function mlx5_translate_port_name() will recognize the port type
wrongly with UNKNOWN result.
The tailing carriage return character should be removed before
calling the mlx5_translate_port_name(), this was already done in the
NL message handling. In the meanwhile, the possible incorrect line
feed character is also taken into consideration.
Fixes: 654810b56828 ("common/mlx5: share Netlink commands")
Fixes: 420bbdae89f2 ("net/mlx5: fix host physical function representor naming")
