While each system is brought up with a different number of ports, this number can be increased via splitting up to the ASIC's limit. Expose physical ports as a devlink resource so that user space will have visibility to the maximum number of ports that can be supported and the current occupancy. In addition, add a "Generic Resources" section in devlink-resource documentation so the different drivers will be aligned by the same resource name when exposing to user space.

This could probably be expanded on even further by someone with more knowledge of how the devlink resources work. Signed-off-by: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
