The global is not needed.
I have renamed it to driver_id and added it as a local variable where it is used.

In the testsuite_setup() function the parameters for the check_cryptodev_capability() are not setup. They are setup in the test functions of the testsuite.

I will change the code to replace the valid_devs[] with one valid_dev.

As discussed offline it should be sufficient to test with the crypto_dev NULL PMD.

I will replace the valid_devs[] with valid_dev which contains the first crypto_null device found.

I will send a v2 patch
