Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: support no host PF configuration
Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2023 09:41:53 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231011064153.46486-1-jiaweiw@nvidia.com> (raw)

From: Xueming Li <xuemingl@nvidia.com>

In BlueField, a new firmware configuration option NUM_OF_PF=0 disables
PF on the x86 host side, no HPF on the ARM side, and the only RDMA port
on the ARM side is the bonding device(PF0). A device probe with devargs
of representor=pf[0-1]vf[...] will probe PF0 and PF1 one by one, and
it's possible that PF1 device scan results in no switch ports.

This patch supports the new configuration by allowing a PF scan with
empty switch ports.
