Multiple PFs on a network adapter often reside on the same physical
chip, running a single firmware. Some resources and configurations
are inherently shared among these PFs - PTP clocks, VF group rates,
firmware parameters, and others. Today there is no good object in
the devlink model to attach these chip-wide configuration knobs to.
Drivers resort to workarounds like pinning shared state to PF0 or
maintaining ad-hoc internal structures (e.g., ice_adapter) that are
invisible to userspace.
