Currently, except for the create and remove, the rest of
mdev_parent_ops is designed for vfio-mdev driver only and may not help
for kernel mdev driver. With the help of class id, this patch
introduces device specific callbacks inside mdev_device
structure. This allows different set of callback to be used by
vfio-mdev and virtio-mdev.

I'm wondering if this patch set should start out with introducing
helper functions already (i.e. don't introduce mdev_set_class(), but
start out with mdev_set_class_vfio() which will gain the *vfio_ops
argument in this patch.)


I think it doesn't harm to keep it as is since in patch 1 we introduce class_id and bus match method based on that without device ops there. But if you stick I can change.

Thanks



However, the mdev_parent_ops structure is not required in the function call
that a driver should use to unregister itself with the mdev core driver::

The code change looks good to me; I'm just wondering if we should
introduce mdev_set_class() at all (see above).
