Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] PCI: ABI change request for adding new field in
rte_pci_id structure

From: Ziye <redacted>

The purpose of this patch is used to add a new field
"class" in rte_pci_id structure. The new class field includes
class_id, subcalss_id, programming interface of a pci device.
With this field, we can identify pci device by its class info,
which can be more flexible instead of probing the device by
vendor_id OR device_id OR subvendor_id OR subdevice_id.
For example, we can probe all nvme devices by class field, which
can be quite convenient.

It's better to use "doc:" as subject prefix, the others are good to go.
