From: Martin Spinler <spinler at cesnet.cz>

This series implements real multiport for better user experience.

The existing driver creates one ethdev/port for one PCI device.
As the CESNET-NDK based cards aren't capable to represent each
Ethernet port by own PCI device, new driver implementation
processes real port configuration from firmware/card and switches
from rte_eth_dev_pci_generic_probe to multiple rte_eth_dev_create calls.
