Use Device Serial Number instead of PCI bus/device/function for
the index of struct ice_adapter.
Functions on the same physical device should point to the very same
ice_adapter instance, but with two PFs, when at least one of them is
PCI-e passed-through to a VM, it is no longer the case - PFs will get
seemingly random PCI BDF values, and thus indices, what finally leds to
each of them being on their own instance of ice_adapter. That causes them
to don't attempt any synchronization of the PTP HW clock usage, or any
other future resources.
DSN works nicely in place of the index, as it is "immutable" in terms of
virtualization.
Fixes: 0e2bddf9e5 ("ice: add ice_adapter for shared data across PFs on the same NIC")

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.
