Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH 01/25] event/dlb2: add dlb v2.5 probe

This commit adds dlb v2.5 probe support, and updates
parameter parsing.

The dlb v2.5 device differs from dlb v2, in that the
number of resources (ports, queues, ...) is different,
so macros have been added to take the device version
into account.

This commit also cleans up a few issues in the original
dlb2 source:
- eliminate duplicate constant definitions
- removed unused constant definitions

Is this an intended change? why change the driver's name.

Yes, This is an intentional change.  We will be using the same driver name going forward, regardless of the hardware version.
Internally, we know which version of the hardware is present.

Since the driver name is still driver/event/dlb2. Keep it as same
prefix scheme with other drivers.

Thanks,
Tim
