[PATCH v6 1/8] net/rnp: add skeleton

[11]

Hi Ferruh,

Thanks for your  reminder, I'm sorry for that I had been work on anothing before.
Recendly, I have been reworked on this work. It will miss on release of v24.03.

For another thing, I'm always confused for the secondary process call like hw->mac_ops this function pointer.
is this method can work normally on secondary process ?
For example,ixgbe on secondary process call ixgbe_get_module_eeprom I fond that it  will cause process core-dump.
because of secondary process use primary process function-point address.
Is dpdk plaform  allowed user call the eth_dev_ops on secondary process?
I don't find any limit and don't know wether or not to protect this function call work normally.
My driver eth_dev_ops achieve will used some function-pointer, so I'm confued about this.
Wish your kind guidance.

Regadrs Wenbo
