The ice_parse_caps function is used to convert the capability block data coming from firmware into a structured format used by other parts of the code. The current implementation directly updates the hw->func_caps and hw->dev_caps structures. It is directly called from within ice_aq_discover_caps. This causes the discover_caps function to have the side effect of modifying the HW capability structures, which is not intuitive. Split this function into ice_parse_dev_caps and ice_parse_func_caps. These functions will take a pointer to the dev_caps and func_caps respectively. Also create an ice_parse_common_caps for sharing the capability logic that is common to device and function. Doing so enables a future refactor to allow reading and parsing capabilities into a local caps structure instead of modifying the members of the HW structure directly.

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 Restructured Text 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.
