dev_port is implemented in Linux for few devices: % git grep -l '\<dev_port\>' drivers/net/ethernet drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt.c drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb4/cxgb4_main.c drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb4vf/cxgb4vf_main.c drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_fcoe.c drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/en_netdev.c
