Can you please give more information about hardware? Is this an offload
engine?

There is no problem with PF only drivers, and there are already samples
of it in the project.
As long as driver is open source and for data path, it is good for
upstream. Please feel free to upstream your driver when it is ready.
The discussion about DPDK PF drivers was about if DPDK PF driver should
be in control path or not, this is high level project scope discussion.
Thanks,
