The STEVAL-IDP005V1 was part of the STEVAL-BFA001V1B, but it is NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs).
Yes, an IO-Link stack can be added, please get in contact with TE-Concept.

It means they won't support new designs with new customers for this part, and the longevity of the part is questionable.
Either it has been replacement by a newer part, or the line has been deemed unsupportable going forward.
Your local sales/support contacts might be able to provide specific reasons and decision drivers related to the movement to DRND
