Jacob Keller 1adf7ead82 ice: enable initial devlink support
Begin implementing support for the devlink interface with the ice
driver.

The pf structure is currently memory managed through devres, via
a devm_alloc. To mimic this behavior, after allocating the devlink
pointer, use devm_add_action to add a teardown action for releasing the
devlink memory on exit.

The ice hardware is a multi-function PCIe device. Thus, each physical
function will get its own devlink instance. This means that each
function will be treated independently, with its own parameters and
configuration. This is done because the ice driver loads a separate
instance for each function.

Due to this, the implementation does not enable devlink to manage
device-wide resources or configuration, as each physical function will
be treated independently. This is done for simplicity, as managing
a devlink instance across multiple driver instances would significantly
increase the complexity for minimal gain.
