In fact relaying on linear increasing port numbers is dangerous. In may break on special scenarios like BlueField.
In BlueField there are representors between the x86 and the ARM cores. Those are not VF representors. The phys_port_name of those is -1 and each of them belongs to different phys_switch_id.

We can argue whether it is correct/not to assign them w/ -1 value, but I think the suggested approach above can detect the right "vf_id" for those and not break the current behavior on x86.  
Let me know if you have other suggestions.
