This patch set restructures the NFP PMD, aligning it more with the common layout adopted by most other PMD's. Although the changes look fairly large, functionally nothing is added or removed from the driver and the existing code is mostly just reorganized into the familiar structure seen in other PMD's.
It seems this refactoring is destroying this firmware improvement: https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/commit/?id=40edb9c0d36b781 Please rebase carefully, keeping the behaviour really intact.
Apart form adopting the common PMD layout this change should also aid in future feature development to the NFP PMD. The previous layout where most of the logic resided in a single file (nfp_net.c) would have become tedious to support going forward.
