Subject: [PATCH] octeontx2-af: Fix PF driver crash with kexec kernel booting

When both AF and PF drivers are built as modules, the PF driver in the
kexec kernel may probe before the AF driver is ready. This leads to
a crash due to uninitialized hardware state.

This patch ensures the PF driver properly detects and waits for AF
driver readiness before proceeding with initialization.
