Hello Yasufumi-san,
Thanks for your comments.
Please see inline.

I have no problem about naming `dev_attach_by_devargs`.
> For `spp_eth_dev_detach`, I think `dev_detach_by_port_id` is more prefer. Other than the name of the function, I am curious why it takes second argument `name` because it is not used in the function.
I have no problem about namign `dev_detach_by_port_id`.
As you say, second argument is NOT used within the function and I will
remove it from revised version.
> By the way, I am not clear what is the difference between your functions and `rte_eth_dev_attach` defined in `dpdk/lib/librte_ethdev/rte_ethdev.c` exactly. Could you explain about the difference shortly for helping my understanding?
Basically both of those functions uses `rte_eal_hotplug_add` to hotplug
device.
Difference is described as following:
`rte_eth_dev_attach` uses global variable named
eth_dev_last_created_port when retrieving newly created dpdk port while
my new function uses `rte_eth_dev_get_port_by_name` becauase this function is defined outside
of dpdk library and can not retrieve global variable within dpdk library.
