[PATCH v3 0/8] Enhance TLP packet decoder with field-level parsing and versioning

The original hisi-ptt-decoder only prints raw hex values with generic field
names for DW2/DW3, without classifying TLP types or decoding
DW2/DW3 fields according to the hardware-defined packet format.

This series enhances the HiSilicon PTT (PCIe Trace and Tuning) packet
decoder in perf tool to provide detailed field-level parsing of TLP headers
based on message type, and adds a versioning mechanism for backward
compatibility both in hisi_ptt driver and perf tool.

Changes in v3:
- Add explicit inclusion of <stdbool.h> (Sashiko).
- Make patch 07/08 apply cleanly to mainline (Yushan).
- Pick up the reviewed-by tag (Yushan).
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20260827140442.2031128-1-liusizhe5@huawei.com/

Changes in v2:
- Split patch 01/10 and patch 02/10 from series v1 into independent patch
  series for backporting (Bjorn).
- Use bitwise operations instead of C bitfields for cross-platform cases
  (Sashiko).
- Add `pattern` parameter in hisi_ptt driver for layout compatibility.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20260604075005.2219785-1-liusizhe5@huawei.com/
