In the case where we have multiple functions (PFs and VFs), this sysfs entry is useful to identify the physical port corresponding to the function we are interested in. Signed-off-by: Shradha Shah <redacted>
Please don't invent your own stuff for this, you are not the only driver in the world that might want to export this kind of information. Set netdev->dev_port properly and it'll already be exported for you using portable, standard interfaces, that a user can use with any device in the world, not just your's.
