Subject: [PATCH V7 net-next 01/11] devlink: Add 'total_vfs' generic device param

From: Vlad Dumitrescu <vdumitrescu@...dia.com>

NICs are typically configured with total_vfs=0, forcing users to rely
on external tools to enable SR-IOV (a widely used and essential feature).

Add total_vfs parameter to devlink for SR-IOV max VF configurability.
Enables standard kernel tools to manage SR-IOV, addressing the need for
flexible VF configuration.
