This is just an auxiliary function meant to avoid duplicating the loops
that build the DCB_ATTR_CEE_TX_PG and DCB_ATTR_CEE_RX_PG nested
attributes. The only differences are the parent attribute and the driver
callbacks. Its similar to the way  dcbnl_pgtx_getcfg() and
dcbnl_pgrx_getcfg() are already implemented.

I'll incorporate the other comments to a v2 version of the patch.

Thanks,
