Subject: [PATCH net-next v6 0/5] devlink: Introduce PCI PF, VF ports and attributes

This patchset carry forwards the work initiated in [1] and discussion
futher concluded at [2].

To improve visibility of representor netdevice, its association with
PF or VF, physical port, two new devlink port flavours are added as
PCI PF and PCI VF ports.

A sample eswitch view can be seen below, which will be futher extended to
mdev subdevices of a PCI function in future.

Patch-1 moves physical port's attribute to new structure
Patch-2 enhances netlink response to consider port flavour
Patch-3,4 extends devlink port attributes and port flavour
Patch-5 extends mlx5 driver to register devlink ports for PF, VF and
physical link.

Changelog:
v5->v6:
 - Fixed port flavour check order for PCI PF vs other flavours in
   netlink response.
 - Changed 'physical' to 'phys'.
v4->v5:
 - Split first patch to two patches to handle netlink response in
   separate patch.
 - Corrected typo 'otwerwise' to 'otherwise' in patches 3 and 4.
v3->v4:
 - Addressed comments from Jiri.
 - Split first patch to two patches.
 - Renamed phys_port to physical to be consistent with pci_pf.
 - Removed port_number from __devlink_port_attrs_set and moved
   assignment to caller function.
 - Used capital letter while moving old comment to new structure.
 - Removed helper function is_devlink_phy_port_num_supported().
v2->v3:
 - Made port_number and split_port_number applicable only to
   physical port flavours.
v1->v2:
 - Updated new APIs and mlx5 driver to drop port_number for PF, VF
   attributes
 - Updated port_number comment for its usage
 - Limited putting port_number to physical ports

Parav Pandit (5):
  devlink: Refactor physical port attributes
  devlink: Return physical port fields only for applicable port flavours
  devlink: Introduce PCI PF port flavour and port attribute
  devlink: Introduce PCI VF port flavour and port attribute
  net/mlx5e: Register devlink ports for physical link, PCI PF, VFs
