I was about the merge this patch but recognized the build error, and I
assume there will be new version,
for new version can you please look following as patch subject suggestions:

 vdpa/nfp: add device operations
 vdpa/nfp: add notify related logic
 vdpa/nfp: add datapath update
 vdpa/nfp: add hardware init
 vdpa/nfp: add remap PCI memory
 vdpa/nfp: add basic framework
 vdpa/nfp: introduce driver
 common/nfp: move device module
 common/nfp: move platform module
 common/nfp: move queue logic
 common/nfp: add common module
 common/nfp: add common ctrl module
 net/nfp: rename parameter in related logic
 net/nfp: extract MAC address data field
 net/nfp: change parameter of reconfig
 net/nfp: change parameter of functions
 net/nfp: extract ctrl data field
 net/nfp: extract ctrl BAR data field
 net/nfp: extract qcp data field
 net/nfp: extract cap data field
 net/nfp: rename ctrl module
 net/nfp: rename net common module
 net/nfp: make VF PMD use NFP common driver
 common/nfp: introduce driver


I am aware some will generate checkpatch warning 'Wrong headline
prefix', that happens when patch has mixture of different modules, I
think better to have the warning than using 'driver: '.
