    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".
