I'm not sure what you're asking here.

port->pi_enable is set using configfs before port is active and 
port->pi_capable will be set by each transport before creating the ctrl.

ctrl->pi_support will be set according to port capabilities and 
subsystem subsys->pi_support.

E.g in case you would like to expose subsystem with MD namespaces using 
RDMA port and using FC/TCP port it will work.

The RDMA port ctrl will verify/generate the MD and the FC/TCP port ctrl 
will create a regular bio request that will be passed to the bdev driver 
to handle.

Also these ctrl will identify themselves with the correct capabilities.

would it worth complicating the code in this stage for ports that might 
not support all types ?

RDMA ports support all needed bs, metadata sizes and DIF types.

We can add "capabilities" in the future for another transports that PI 
will be implemented for them (if needed).
