Begin implementing support for the devlink interface with the ice driver. The pf structure is currently memory managed through devres, via a devm_alloc. To mimic this behavior, after allocating the devlink pointer, use devm_add_action to add a teardown action for releasing the devlink memory on exit. The ice hardware is a multi-function PCIe device. Thus, each physical function will get its own devlink instance. This means that each function will be treated independently, with its own parameters and configuration. This is done because the ice driver loads a separate instance for each function. Due to this, the implementation does not enable devlink to manage device-wide resources or configuration, as each physical function will be treated independently. This is done for simplicity, as managing a devlink instance across multiple driver instances would significantly increase the complexity for minimal gain.

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.
