pds_client_register() gets the drvdata from the passed PCI function,
you have to use pci_iov_get_pf_drvdata() to do this. You can't
shortcut it like this.

This is all nonsensical, the existing callers start with aa pdsc:

int pdsc_auxbus_dev_add(struct pdsc *cf, struct pdsc *pf)

Then they call

	client_id = pds_client_register(pf->pdev, devname);

Which then does

	struct pdsc *pf;
	pf = pci_get_drvdata(pf_pdev);

Just pass in the pdsc you already had

Add another wrapper to get the pdsc from a VF using
pci_iov_get_pf_drvdata() like you are supposed to.
