Minor nits below, otherwise I think this looks good.

These helpers should also set an appropriate message in extack, so the
user can see it on the command line / inside their application.

Here as well - please make sure to return an error messages through
extack.

No need to remember the devlink pointer here, you can use
priv_to_devlink(priv) to go from priv to devlink.
