[PATCH v2] octeontx2-af: use seq_file for rsrc_alloc debugfs

From: Heyang Tan

Date: Mon Sep 07 2026 - 21:55:43 EST


The rsrc_alloc debugfs reader writes rows directly to userspace without
respecting the caller's read count. It also uses the current row length as
the userspace stride, which can corrupt output when rows have different
widths.

Use seq_file to handle userspace buffer sizes, offsets, and partial reads,
and write output columns directly to the seq_file buffer.

Fixes: 23205e6d06d4 ("octeontx2-af: Dump current resource provisioning status")

Changes in v2:
- Write columns directly to the seq_file buffer as suggested by Ratheesh.
- Preserve skipping PF/VF rows without allocated resources.
