Replace direct hardware system image GUID usage with a new software system image GUID function that supports variable-length identifiers. Key changes: - Add mlx5_query_nic_sw_system_image_guid() function with length parameter. - Update all callsites to use the new function and buffer/length approach. - Modify mapping contexts to use byte arrays instead of u64 keys. - Update devcom matching to support variable-length keys. - Change mlx5_same_hw_devs() to use buffer comparison instead of u64. This refactoring prepares the infrastructure for balance ID support, which requires extending the system image GUID with additional data. The change maintains backward compatibility while enabling future enhancements.

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 reStructuredText 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.
