Why this is a fix?

What is OFS legacy model? And what is legacy model? They are
the same or not? It's quite confusing.

I think the major difference here is not that PORT has AFU or not, but
If PORT needs to be turned into VFs. Would it be better to be decided
by FME registers controlling the access to PORT?

If we consider following same flow for enable SRIOV to reuse existing
tools, then we need to add FME flags to indicate user (and dfl-pci), 
no need to assign/release port for SRIOV enabling.
