Thx for the update - yepp, found them in linux-next.
So should be possible to address them with the upcoming kernel SRU ...

Title:
[UBUNTU 20.04] s390x/pci: implement linking between PF and VF for
multifunction devices
Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
Triaged
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
As with other architectures, we must be able on s390x to verify the
following relationships between PFs and VFs for proper management
(including by libvirt) of network interfaces:
1. Determine if a device is a virtual function: for other architectures this
is currently available in the file `physfn` which is a link to the parent PF's
device.
2. Determine virtual functions of a physical function: for other
architectures this is currently available as `virtfn{index}` links under the PF
device's directory.
3. Determine the physical function of a virtual function: on x86 this is
currently available in the file `physfn` which is a link to the parent PF
More details for the already existing parameters mentioned above can
be found here: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/ABI/testing
/sysfs-bus-pci
Moreover creating not just the sysfs but also the in-kernel link
(struct pci_dev->physfn) also allows us to use the common code path
for disabling/shutdown of PFs.
This code path is currently fenced off by the
struct pci_dev->no_vf_scan flag of which s390 is currently the only user.
This in turn allows for a graceful and orderly shutdown of VFs
associated with a VF as triggered by:
echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<some_pf>/sriov_numvfs
Previously this could leave the card in an unresponsive error state.
The patches for this have been discussed and Acked-by the
responsible upstream maintainer here:
[RFC 0/2] Enable PF-VF linking with pdev->no_vf_scan (s390)
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/[email protected]/
[RFC 1/2] PCI/IOV: Introduce pci_iov_sysfs_link() function
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/[email protected]/
[RFC 2/2] s390/pci: create links between PFs and VFs
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/[email protected]/
They are currently queued to be posted to the public s390 Kernel
repository and linux-next / 5.8.
These depend on the previous multi-function/enumeration rework.
