In this case PF for networking has an established link to SRIOV 'physical function'. FUNCTION can be written as FCN. ATTACHED can be shortened to ATTCH. So in this case DEVLINK_PORT_FUNCTION_OPSTATE_ATTACHED (38 chars) drops to DEVLINK_PORT_FCN_OPSTATE_ATTCH (30 chars). That is a step in the right direction.
