Right, the issue was introduced by:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230807205755.29579-4-brett.creeley@amd.com/

which exists in the vfio next branch as:

b021d05e106e ("pds_core: Require callers of register/unregister to pass PF drvdata")

The problem doesn't actually exist in the stand alone net-next branch,
so I felt confident in taking Brett's fix from here:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230817224212.14266-1-brett.creeley@amd.com/

which is currently in the vfio next branch:

06d220f13b1f ("pds_core: Fix function header descriptions")

Additionally this includes proper attributes and fixes tags.

I'm sure Linus can fixup the conflict, but a preferable solution might
be to drop the patch from Yang Li from net-next.  Thanks,

Alex
