Hi Bernard,

I guess port hotplug function can be separated in below 2 implementations.
- port hotplug framework
- port hotplug implementation in each PMD.

This test plan is for checking hotplug framework.
So I guess we don't need to add Null pmd cases.

When DTS has tests for each PMD, I guess each PMD tests should have
cases for hotplug, because each PMD will have different implementation
for hotplug. I guess null pmd should be also checked like this.

Anyway, if we are not so hurry about adding null pmd tests, I guess I
will be able to commit it next month.

Thanks,
Tetsuya
