A devlink eswitch port may represent PCI PF/VF ports of a controller. A controller either located on same system or it can be an external controller located in host where such NIC is plugged in. Add the ability for driver to specify if a port is for external controller. Use such flag in the mlx5_core driver. An example of an external controller having VF1 of PF0 belong to controller 1. $ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/2 pci/0000:06:00.0/2: type eth netdev ens2f0pf0vf1 flavour pcivf pfnum 0 vfnum 1 external true splittable false function: hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 $ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/2 -jp { "port": { "pci/0000:06:00.0/2": { "type": "eth", "netdev": "ens2f0pf0vf1", "flavour": "pcivf", "pfnum": 0, "vfnum": 1, "external": true, "splittable": false, "function": { "hw_addr": "00:00:00:00:00:00" } } } } Signed-off-by: Parav Pandit <parav@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
