Jiri-

Validation ran into a couple of issues with this patch.  Here is what
Aaron found when testing this patch...

Aaron Brown wrote:
I think I have to fail this, it seems to have an issue with
initialization.  When I first create a vf via sysfs the pys_port_id file
is created along with the other sysfs files for the vf, however an
attempt to cat out the value returns " Operation not supported".  At
this point the vf is still down, if I bring it up (or simply unload /
reload the igbvf driver) I can then cat the file successfully and the vf
interface phys_port_id matches the phys_port_id of the pf.  This is
testing from bare metal, a console session showing this behavior
follows:

u1304:[0]/sys> find . -iname phys_port_id
./devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:07:00.0/net/eth0/phys_port_id
./devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:07:00.1/net/eth1/phys_port_id
./devices/virtual/net/sit0/phys_port_id
./devices/virtual/net/lo/phys_port_id
u1304:[0]/sys> cat devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:07:00.0/net/eth0/phys_port_id

So far so good, now make a few vfs and check for new phys_port_id sysfs files.

u1304:[0]/sys> find . -iname sriov_numvfs
./devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:07:00.0/sriov_numvfs
./devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:07:00.1/sriov_numvfs
u1304:[0]/sys> echo 2 > devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:07:00.0/sriov_numvfs
u1304:[0]/sys> find . -iname phys_port_id                                       ./devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:07:00.0/net/eth0/phys_port_id
./devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:07:00.1/net/eth1/phys_port_id
./devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:07:10.0/net/eth2/phys_port_id
./devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:07:10.2/net/eth3/phys_port_id
./devices/virtual/net/sit0/phys_port_id
./devices/virtual/net/lo/phys_port_id
u1304:[0]/sys>

The first vf is eth2, attempt to cat out it's phys_port_id

u1304:[0]/sys> cat ./devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:07:10.0/net/eth2/phys_port_id
cat: ./devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:07:10.0/net/eth2/phys_port_id: Operation not supported
u1304:[0]/sys>

But, if I bring the interface up (or unload / load the igbvf driver) I then am able to cat the phys_port_id of the vf and it matches the phys_port_id of the physical interface.

u1304:[0]/sys> ifconfig eth2 u1304-2
u1304:[0]/sys> cat ./devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:07:10.0/net/eth2/phys_port_id
