Not quite, the idea is we get to have a cleaner split between the two sides. The device side is responsible for things centric to the device, like "does this device actually exists" which is what is_supported is doing. The driver side holds the driver specific logic. > is_supported check shouldn't belong to mlx5_core and each aux device > (en/ib/vdpa) should implement own is_supported op and keep the details > hidden in the aux driver like it was before this patch. No, it really should be in the device side. Part of the point here is to properly fix module loading. That means the core driver must only create devices that can actually have a driver bound to them because creating a device triggers module loading. For instance we do not want to auto load vdpa modules on every mlx5 system for no reason, that is not clean at all. Jason

Saeed, Jason gave very good example and it is not far from the real life requirement. We have an internal task to make sure that mlx5_vdpa is loaded without any other mlx5_* modules (ib and eth). This series solves it naturally. Thanks > > Jason
