`dev_port` is used to differentiate devices that instantiate from
the same function, which is the case in most of NFP NICs.
In some customized scenario, `dev_port` is used to rename netdev
instead of `phys_port_name`. Example rules using `dev_port`:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", KERNELS=="0000:e1:00.0", ATTR{dev_port}=="0", NAME:="ens8np0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", KERNELS=="0000:e1:00.0", ATTR{dev_port}=="1", NAME:="ens8np1"
To take port split case into account, here we initialize `dev_port`
according to the port sequence in eth_table from management firmware
instead of using port label id directly. And management firmware
makes sure that port sequence matches its label id.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
