The Boot Control driver ("mlxbf_bootctl") in the Jammy repo contains SAUCE
patches for various features and bug fixes. This same functionality
is contained in upstream commits and Jammy repo should utilize them.

This pull request reverts 4 SAUCE commits, replacing them with 6
upstream commits. There is still one SAUCE patch for this driver,
as this code change has not been upstreamed yet.

Testing
- Boot BF2/BF3 platform, verify no new errors
- Program MFG fields via "bfcfg" tool:
   1) With current image, use 'bfcfg -d' to display current values
   2) Reboot, stopping at UEFI menu, trigger 'Reset MFG Info'
   3) With new image, use 'bfcfg' to push new or same MFG fields
   4) Verify that the MFG fields are programmed properly via 'bfcfg -d'
   5) Repeat process to replace proper MFG fields
- Display BlueField boot log
   1) cd /sys/bus/platform/devices/MLNXBF04:00
   2) cat rsh_log
   3) Should see boot log entries relevant to last boot
