I agree about the match() fn - but, this is not what I meant. 
My point was that ideally for implementation of callbacks, applications
would more often use the strcmp function (matching name of the bus) than
the match() callback.

Further, this semantic is being followed by other DPDK APIs as well - so,
my intent was to make this also inline with those.
