In case user wants to configure the SFs, for example: to use only vdpa
functionality, he needs to fully probe a SF, configure what he wants,
and afterward reload the SF.
In order to save the time of the reload, local SFs will probe without
any auxiliary sub-device, so that the SFs can be configured prior to
its full probe.
The defaults of the enable_* devlink params of these SFs are set to
false.
Usage example:
Create SF:
$ devlink port add pci/0000:08:00.0 flavour pcisf pfnum 0 sfnum 11
$ devlink port function set pci/0000:08:00.0/32768 \
hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:11 state active
Enable ETH auxiliary device:
$ devlink dev param set auxiliary/mlx5_core.sf.1 \
name enable_eth value true cmode driverinit
Now, in order to fully probe the SF, use devlink reload:
$ devlink dev reload auxiliary/mlx5_core.sf.1
At this point the user have SF devlink instance with auxiliary device
for the Ethernet functionality only.

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.
