Public bug reported:

A device_profile is a notion of Cyborg project, please refer to
https://docs.openstack.org/api-ref/accelerator/v2/index.html#device-
profiles

It is a named set of user requirements for one or more accelerators. It
can be viewed as a flavor for devices. Broadly it includes two things:
the desired amounts of specific resource classes and the requirements
that the resource provider(s) must satisfy.

Neutron needs to add a new extension "device_profile" which filled by
the name of a device profile indicating an accelerator that can be
associated with a neutron port, in order to offload some networking
workload on the smartnic.

Please refer to nova spec for the details:
