What do you think to return a default value when dev_ops is not defined,
assuming device is not a bounded device.
Not sure which one is better for application, return a default value or
error.

Although documentation says this API should be called before configure,
if user misses it I guess above can crash, is there a way to add runtime
check, like checking 'dev->data->dev_configured'?

Should API check if port_id is a bonding port before it continue with
mapping?

Can you please give more details in the function description, in the
context of this patch it is clear, but someone sees it first time can be
confused what is "aggregated ports" is.
What is expected value for regular pysical port, that doesn't have any
sub-devices, 0 or 1? Can you please document?
