[dpdk-dev,v5,2/7] bus: introduce parsing functionality
Checks
Commit Message
This operation can be used either to validate that a device
representation can be understood by a bus, as well as store the resulting
specialized device representation in any format determined by the bus.

Again, I don't think this makes sense to have. Also there is no user
for this as far as I can see. The bus specific device representation
should come from the scan function instead of this.

I think it makes sense that scanning would store this representation
yes. The issue is that it requires another rte_bus_scan API evolution,
which is beyond this patchset.
Keep in mind that I was bound when writing this to follow the existing
API. I agree that some cleanup could come up in the EAL, but it cannot
all happen at once. These first steps (generic devargs / vdev & PCI move
to drivers/bus) serve to trim the EAL before these changes.
