Commit Message

Gregory Etelson Oct. 28, 2025, 9:58 a.m. UTC 
In multi-port E-Switch setup, the MLX5 PMD always added
PF representor port.
For example, `representor=pf1vf[0,1]` implicitly added PF1 representor
port:

```
Port     Name
0        p0
1        p1
2        representor_c0pf1vf0
3        representor_c0pf1vf1
```

The patch adds support for the new representor format that suppresses
PF representor attachment:

Example: `representor=(pf1)vf[0,1]`

```
Port     Name
0        p0
1        representor_c0pf1vf0
2        representor_c0pf1vf1
```
