Please refer: https://patches.dpdk.org/patch/63924/. In first reply to Stephen's comment, Itself I said that I agree with that approach and why I have not taken that path is also mentioned,
and requested for suggestions. But there were no further inputs after asking multiple times then I thought no one has any concern and then I asked to get it merged for 20.05.

No, Neither I have ignored your code changes nor denied. Both submitted patches uses similar approaches having one difference only that is you modified existing functions and I have written the new without touching the existing one. I have already explained in v1 that why I have not taken that path what you have implemented.
Also I thought, its not good to change pci_ignore_device and pci_devargs_lookup because in future if more parameters (part of rte_pci_device structure) are considered to ignore a device then again we have to change this function to support it.
It may be a rare case but it was one thought process.
