A typo? Series?

For the title, either 'multi-probing' or 'multiple probing'.
And I suggest

        net/mlx5: allow multiple probing for representor

And I have only nitpickings below ;-)

Better to put a period (.), if it is a sentence.

How about,
        /* Check if the device is already spawned. */

"return NULL" is so obvious from the code.

Semantically, shouldn't it be EEXIST and add the condition in probe()?

I meant this to be,
                        if (rte_errno != EBUSY && rte_errno != EEXIST)
