Subject: [PATCH v4] dts: enable port binding on the TG
Date: Mon,  8 Sep 2025 13:36:18 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250908173618.202075-1-abailey@iol.unh.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250808182152.356879-2-abailey@iol.unh.edu>

Currently, ports on the TG are not bound to the correct drivers prior to
running DTS. This causes DTS to crash if they are not initially bound to
the intended drivers. Binding the TG ports to the proper driver caused
DTS to fail when the OS and DPDK drivers were the same, due to the port
link not being up. Changing the bound_for_dpdk method for a port to
return false when the OS driver and DPDK driver were shared on a TG
node allowed the TG ports to enter the logic to be brought up in the
configure_ports method within the topology class.

Leverage TG runtime environment to bind TG ports to correct drivers
before and after running DTS.

Signed-off-by: Andrew Bailey <abailey@iol.unh.edu>

v4: Relocated logic for bringing up ports using mellanox drivers. This
moved from the ports class to the configure_ports method in the
topology class.
