Lastly by splitting out the onlining step you can avoid potentially
releasing a broken VF to be reserved if there is some sort of
unrecoverable error between steps 2 and 3.

If the PF FW gets in a state that it can't respond to a trivial
command like this then *every* VF is broken. It not a useful scenario
to focus on.

Right, many VF initial configurations are done through PF. It MUST work.
