qed: Align local and global PTT to propagate through the APIs.
Align the use of local PTT to propagate through the qed_mcp* API's.
Global ptt should not be used.
Register access should be done through layers. Register address is
mapped into a PTT, PF translation table. Several interface functions
require a PTT to direct read/write into register. There is a pool of
PTT maintained, and several PTT are used simultaneously to access
device registers in different flows. Same PTT should not be used in
flows that can run concurrently.
To avoid running out of PTT resources, too many PTT should not be
acquired without releasing them. Every PF has a global PTT, which is
used throughout the life of PF, in most important flows for register
access. Generic functions acquire the PTT locally and release after
the use. This patch aligns the use of Global PTT and Local PTT
accordingly.
