This reverts commit bfaaba99e680bf82bf2cbf69866c3f37434ff766.

Commit bfaaba99e680 ("ice: Hide bus-info in ethtool for PRs in switchdev
mode") was a workaround for lshw tool displaying incorrect
descriptions for port representors and PF in switchdev mode. Now the issue
has been fixed in the lshw tool itself [1].

Removing the workaround can be considered a regression, as the user might
be running older, unpatched lshw version. However, another important change
(ice: link representors to PCI device, which improves port representor
netdev naming with SET_NETDEV_DEV) also causes the same "regression" as
removing the workaround, i.e. unpatched lshw is able to access bus-info
information (this time not via ethtool) and the bug can occur. Therefore,
the workaround no longer prevents the bug and can be removed.
