An example for real PCI PF,VF,SF device looks like below.
I will cover below example to the v4 cover letter while addressing David's comment for header file relocation.

$ vdpa mgmtdev list
pci/0000:03.00:0
  supported_classes

  supported_classes
    net
auxiliary/mlx5_core.sf.8
  supported_classes
    net
