switchdev: documentation: use switchdev_port_obj_xxx for IPv4 FIB add/modify/delete ops

Clarify in documentation and code that IPV4 FIB add operation is used for
both adding a new FIB entry to the device and for modifying an existing FIB
entry on the device.

Also, remove left-over references to ipv4_fib ops and replace with details
on SWITCHDEV_PORT_IPV4_FIB object.

+L3 Routing Offload
+------------------
 
 Offloading L3 routing requires that device be programmed with FIB entries from
 the kernel, with the device doing the FIB lookup and forwarding.  The device
 does a longest prefix match (LPM) on FIB entries matching route prefix and
-forwards the packet to the matching FIB entry's nexthop(s) egress ports.  To
-program the device, the switchdev driver is called with add/delete ops for IPv4
-and IPv6 FIB entries.  For IPv4, the driver implements switchdev ops:
-
-        int (*switchdev_fib_ipv4_add)(struct net_device *dev,
-                                  __be32 dst, int dst_len,
-                                  struct fib_info *fi,
-                                  u8 tos, u8 type,
-                                  u32 nlflags, u32 tb_id);
-
-        int (*switchdev_fib_ipv4_del)(struct net_device *dev,
-                                  __be32 dst, int dst_len,
-                                  struct fib_info *fi,
-                                  u8 tos, u8 type,
-                                  u32 tb_id);
-
-to add/delete IPv4 dst/dest_len prefix on table tb_id.  The *fi structure holds
-details on the route and route's nexthops.  *dev is one of the port netdevs
-mentioned in the routes next hop list.  If the output port netdevs referenced
-in the route's nexthop list don't all have the same switch ID, the driver is
-not called to add/delete the FIB entry.
+forwards the packet to the matching FIB entry's nexthop(s) egress ports.
+
+To program the device, the driver implements support for
+SWITCHDEV_OBJ_IPV[4|6]_FIB object using switchdev_port_obj_xxx ops.
+switchdev_port_obj_add is used for both adding a new FIB entry to the device,
+or modifying an existing entry on the device.
+
+XXX: Currently, only SWITCHDEV_OBJ_IPV4_FIB objects are supported.
+
+SWITCHDEV_OBJ_IPV4_FIB object passes:
+
+        struct switchdev_obj_ipv4_fib {         /* IPV4_FIB */
+                u32 dst;
+                int dst_len;
+                struct fib_info *fi;
+                u8 tos;
+                u8 type;
+                u32 nlflags;
+                u32 tb_id;
+        } ipv4_fib;
+
+to add/modify/delete IPv4 dst/dest_len prefix on table tb_id.  The *fi
+structure holds details on the route and route's nexthops.  *dev is one of the
+port netdevs mentioned in the routes next hop list.  If the output port netdevs
+referenced in the route's nexthop list don't all have the same switch ID, the
+driver is not called to add/modify/delete the FIB entry.
