The ice_vsi_alloc and ice_vsi_cfg functions are used together to allocate and configure a new VSI, called as part of the ice_vsi_setup function. In the future with the addition of the subfunction code the ice driver will want to be able to allocate a VSI while delaying the configuration to a later point of the port activation. Currently this requires that the port code know what type of VSI should be allocated. This is required because ice_vsi_alloc assigns the VSI type. Refactor the ice_vsi_alloc and ice_vsi_cfg functions so that VSI type assignment isn't done until the configuration stage. This will allow the devlink port addition logic to reserve a VSI as early as possible before the type of the port is known. In this way, the port add can fail in the event that all hardware VSI resources are exhausted. Since the ice_vsi_cfg function already takes the ice_vsi_cfg_params structure, this is relatively straight forward.

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.
