Public bug reported:
SRU Justification:
[Impact]
The mlxbf_pmc BlueField platform driver in the Jammy repo
consists of some SAUCE patches. These need to be replaced.
[Fix]
The fix is to revert the four SAUCE patches, replacing them with
upstream commits for the same functionality. 2 patches are from
upstream linux, while the 3rd is from linux-next.
[Test Case]
* Boot BF2/BF3 platform, verify no new errors
* Test sysfs interface exposed by driver for programming various
counters and events.
[Regression Potential]
The upstream commits are not exactly the same as the SAUCE patches,
so technically there is a chance of regression, but its been
well-tested and the functionality is the same.
