> 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.
