This doesn't answer "What is Feature Type and Feature ID?" question.
I would like to see the answer and the feature list above in the kernel
documentation.

Please explain, in this document, the PR procedure regarding feature ID
registration.

Feature Type is the device type of feature device, currently, we only support FME device and Port device now.
Feature ID means the ID of feature device. Individual DFL drivers are bound DFL devices based on Feature Type and Feature ID
after DFL enumeration. I think those detail information are in DFL specification, and it don't need put everything in kernel documentation.
And I think the feature list maintains by an extra git repository will be better, and the users want to add a new feature ID must
submit a pull request for this repo to register the new ID.

In this documentation, it has a chapter talk about the PR, pls see the " Partial Reconfiguration" chapter.
On DFL perspective, PR is a FME private feature device, the Feature Type is "0" (0 means FME), the feature ID is 0x5.
FME Partial Reconfiguration Sub Feature driver (see drivers/fpga/dfl-fme-pr.c) will be bound if it found a 
PR private feature device after DFL enumeration.
