There has to be limits on the number of sub functions that can be
created for a device. How does a user find that limit?

Also, seems like there are hardware constraint at play. e.g., can a user
reduce the number of queues used by the physical function to support
more sub-functions? If so how does a user programmatically learn about
this limitation? e.g., devlink could have support to show resource
sizing and configure constraints similar to what mlxsw has.
