Adds a misc driver for Marvell CN10K DPI(DMA Engine) device's physical function which initializes DPI DMA hardware's global configuration and enables hardware mailbox channels between physical function (PF) and it's virtual functions (VF). VF device drivers (User space drivers) use this hw mailbox to communicate any required device configuration on it's respective VF device. Accordingly, this DPI PF driver provisions the VF device resources. At the hardware level, the DPI physical function (PF) acts as a management interface to setup the VF device resources, VF devices are only provisioned to handle or control the actual DMA Engine's data transfer capabilities.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
