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

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
