Thanks for highlighting.
Yes, I had a look at that patchset a couple of days back.
In case of DPAA2 PMD, we are not actually using eth_driver. There is a dummy reference that we are creating which can easily be removed. We were doing only to be 'similar' to other existing PMDs.

In fact, I will go ahead and remove this use of eth_driver instance in v9 (considering there are some comments from Olivier which too need changes).

So, that patchset is positive for us, but doesn't really impact the existing patches (functionally).
