For the ABI compatibility it is better to hide internal data structures
from the application as much as possible. But because of some inline
functions 'struct eth_dev_ops' can't be hidden completely.

Plan is to split the 'struct eth_dev_ops' into two as ones used by
inline functions and ones not used, and hide the second part that not
used by inline functions completely to the application.

Sorry, this patch is missing the necessary acks for merging.
This change can still be announced for 20.11 in the next releases and
the details can be discussed again since a conclusion was not reached.

That is OK, we can drop for 20.02, I can send a new version to target the 20.11
change only removing interim change.
