Subject: [PATCH net-next V3 03/15] devlink: Add 'total_vfs' generic device param

From: Saeed Mahameed <[email-masked]>

From: Vlad Dumitrescu <[email-masked]>

NICs are typically configured with total_vfs=0, forcing users to rely
on external tools to enable SR-IOV (a widely used and essential feature).

Add total_vfs parameter to devlink for SR-IOV max VF configurability.
Enables standard kernel tools to manage SR-IOV, addressing the need for
flexible VF configuration.
