This patch is used to add the class_id support for pci_probe since some devices need the class_info (class_code, subclass_code, programming_interface) Signed-off-by: Ziye Yang <redacted>Since rte_pci is exposed to application this breaks the ABI.But applications are not going to be defining rte_pci_ids values internally, are they? That is for drivers to use. Is this really an ABI breakage for applications that we need to be concerned about?
There might not be applications using it but drivers are ABI consumers too - think of 3rd party drivers and such. - Panu -
