[PATCH net v2] octeontx2-af: Fix limiting SRIOV VF count logic

From: nshettyj

Date: Fri Aug 28 2026 - 05:50:31 EST


From: Sunil Goutham <sgoutham@xxxxxxxxxxx>

When RVU PF0/AF's VFs are SDP instead of LBK, limiting the VF count
based on the LBK channel count is incorrect.

Apply LBK channel-based VF limits only when the VF device ID matches
the LBK RVU AFVF device.

Fixes: 9bd6caf33567 ("octeontx2-af: Enable sriov on AF to create VFs")

v2:
- Use min() to simplify VF count capping
- guard against negative vfs when chans < 2
