Grzegorz Nitka 7a15668f66 ice: Add helper function ice_is_generic_mac 
E800 series devices have a couple of quirks:
1. Sideband control queues are not supported
2. The registers that the driver needs to program for the "Precision
   Time Protocol (PTP)" feature are different for E800 series devices
   compared to other devices supported by this driver.

Both these require conditional logic based on the underlying device we
are dealing with.

The function ice_is_sbq_supported added by commit 8f5ee3c477
("ice: add support for sideband messages") addresses (1).
The same function can be used to address (2) as well
but this just looks weird readability wise in cases that have nothing
to do with sideband control queues:

	if (ice_is_sbq_supported(hw))
		/* program register A */
	else
		/* program register B */

For these cases, the function ice_is_generic_mac introduced by this
patch communicates the idea/intention better. Also rework
ice_is_sbq_supported to use this new function.
As side-band queue is supported for E825C devices, it's mac_type is
considered as generic mac_type.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
