I don't think we can rely on there being another port available -- a user may have configured the sw eventdev with all 64 ports, for instance. What if the user is required to calculate cfg.nb_event_ports as a function of the RX_ADAPTER_CAP_INBUILT_PORT capability (i.e. add a port if the capability is not set), such that a reconfigure is not required?
As for application control: that would be a useful option in the conf_cb scheme. Some apps will want to configure the adapter's port (its new_event_threshold, its queue depths) differently from the default.
Thanks,
Gage
