Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 2/9] eth: fbnic: use fw uptime to detect fw crashes

Currently we only detect FW crashes when it stops responding
to heartbeat messages. FW has a watchdog which will reset it
in case of crashes. Use FW uptime sent in the ownership and
heartbeat messages to detect that the watchdog has fired
(uptime went down).

v3:
 - include TIME attrs in parsing policies
v2:
 - update commit msg
 - use uptime the entry from OWNERSHIP enum in ownership rsp parsing
 - update comment about heartbeat rsp
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/20250912201428.566190-3-kuba@kernel.org
