Just a little comment, do we want the pmd to be able to override this ?

I can see we enforce the driver name by putting it after the call to
.dev_infos_get.
http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/tree/lib/librte_ether/rte_ethdev.c#n2399

octeontx pmd seems to try to do something about it:
http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/tree/drivers/net/octeontx/octeontx_ethdev.c#n622

Not sure it does something, might be a thing to cleanup.
