Think about Testpmd control commands that call to failsafe port devop which call to its sub-devices devops, while tespmd is different owner(controlling failsafe-port) and failsafe is a different owner(controlling all its sub-devices ports), There are both run control commands in the same thread and there are uncoordinated!

Apologies for not responding in full here, but in the interests of
de-duplication, I'm providing a larger response to the above higher up in the
