[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1 1/3] eal: enable uio_pci_generic support

[Thomas Monjalon]

Hi Danny,

I wanted to apply this patchset which was reviewed. But when having a quick
overview, I've seen some strange additions.

Why not embedding this field in driver struct?
The name and comment should be more precise.
There is also driver->name and hotplug patchset is adding a kernel driver name.
Please bring the light in all these driver names :)

Please comment this value.

Apart the indent, it seems there is a mistake here.
Why 2 unions with 1 field each?
