[PATCH net-next] net/mlx5: Remove max_external_SFs device resource
From: Tariq Toukan
Date: Sun Oct 11 2026 - 05:39:28 EST
From: Or Har-Toov <ohartoov@xxxxxxxxxx>
The device-level max_external_SFs resource is redundant now that
per-port max_SFs resources are registered on each PF port representor.
Users can look up SF limits per-port directly via 'devlink port show'
to correlate with controller number and pfnum.
