Hi Hao,

A couple comments below.

The first use I see of this function in this patchset is the FME PR,
not the FME, or am I misunderstanding?

I understand the need for this function, but I'm having a hard time
following this explanation here.   Suggestion: "For feature devices,
we need a method to find the port dedicated to the device.  Add a
function fpga_cdev_find_port to do that"

The caller will need to put the port_dev->dev.  Please document that
in the function header.  I mentioned that in v2.
