mlx5_ifc.h doesn't include bits.h on-purpose and there are "*.c" files
that include that ifc header file, but don't include bits.h either.

It can cause to build failures in random builds.

The mlx5_ifc.h is our main hardware definition file that we are using in
other projects outside of the kernel (rdma-core) too, so it is preferable
to keep it as plain-C without any extra dependencies.

Thanks
