   I've started work on this feature. Would it be sufficient for your needs for dpctl.tensor to expose two functions for interchanging a DLPack device with a SyclDevice or a dpctl.tensor.Device?

   Something like

   import dpctl.tensor as dpt
   
   dev = dpctl.SyclDevice("*:cpu")
   dlpack_dev = dpt.create_dlpack_device(dev)

   and its converse (making a root SyclDevice from a DLPack device type).

   This avoids creating a dependency between dpctl.SyclDevice and DLPack functionality, i.e., defining device type enumerators in the dpctl namespace.
