Yes, good idea, this can be simplified, and can remove
uadk_compress_priv as well.

But it looks like rte_compressdev_pmd_create requires the priv data,
otherwise it will return an error if private_data_size == 0.
Could rte_compressdev_pmd_create be changed only alloc
compressdev->data->dev_private only if data_size != 0.

Or I am checking whether to simply add one priv.

OK.

One more question,
rte_compressdev_pmd_init_params does not have .max_nb_queue_pairs as
rte_cryptodev_pmd_init_params.
So dpdk-test-compress-perf  will use 128 queues by default, except
adding -l 1,2.
Is this expected?

Thanks
