Port Representator netdevs are created for each PF and VF if the switch
mode is set to 'switchdev'. These netdevs can be used to control and
configure VFs and PFs when they are moved to a different namespace.
They enable exposing statistics, configure and monitor link state, mtu,
filters,fdb/vlan entries etc.


What netdev represents the uplink (wire port) in your impl?
