Please could you explain the requirement and the context?
Can we use RTE_ETH_DEV_DEFERRED state and device ownership?
Without knowing what's behind, I would say that a PMD should
never skip a device by itself, but let other entities decide
what to do with the probed device (thanks to probe notifications).
