dpll: add generic DPLL type
Add DPLL_TYPE_GENERIC to represent DPLL devices which do not fit the
existing PPS or EEC classes.
The UAPI type is intentionally generic. During netdev discussion,
maintainers pointed out that introducing identifiers tied to a specific
placement or single design does not scale across ASICs and vendors.
The role of a DPLL is already inferable from the spawning driver,
bus device, and pin topology, without encoding additional
purpose-specific taxonomy in the type name.
Using a generic type keeps the UAPI extensible and avoids premature
naming that may become incorrect as new hardware topologies are
exposed through the DPLL subsystem.
Expose the new type through UAPI and netlink specification as "generic".
