net: wan: Add framer framework support

A framer is a component in charge of an E1/T1 line interface.
Connected usually to a TDM bus, it converts TDM frames to/from E1/T1
frames. It also provides information related to the E1/T1 line.

The framer framework provides a set of APIs for the framer drivers
(framer provider) to create/destroy a framer and APIs for the framer
users (framer consumer) to obtain a reference to the framer, and
use the framer.

This basic implementation provides a framer abstraction for:
 - power on/off the framer
 - get the framer status (line state)
 - be notified on framer status changes
 - get/set the framer configuration

+	  A framer is a component in charge of an E1/T1 line interface.
+	  Connected usually to a TDM bus, it converts TDM frames to/from E1/T1
+	  frames. It also provides information related to the E1/T1 line.
+	  Used with HDLC, the network can be reached through the E1/T1 line.
+
+	  This framework is designed to provide a generic interface for framer
+	  devices present in the kernel. This layer will have the generic
+	  API by which framer drivers can create framer using the framer
+	  framework and framer users can obtain reference to the framer.
+	  All the users of this framework should select this config.
