Bug Description

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.

[Other]

This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-bluefield/5.15.0-1029.31 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-jammy-linux-bluefield' to 'verification-done-jammy-linux-bluefield'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-jammy-linux-bluefield' to 'verification-failed-jammy-linux-bluefield'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
