Thanks, Tengfei.

Since primary / secondary is so complicated, AFAIK, the control path is in
primary, the secondary is mainly for rx/tx ops officially, like new Intel
ice PMD:

	if (rte_eal_process_type() != RTE_PROC_PRIMARY) {
		ice_set_rx_function(dev);
		ice_set_tx_function(dev);
		return 0;
	}

So you can keep your patch as private for special secondary usage. ;-)
