Currently mlx5_common uses CLASS priority to initialize common code before initializing the PMD. However mlx5_common is not really a class, it is the pre-initialization code needed for the PMDs.
In subsequent patch a needed initialization sequence is: (a) Initialize bus (say pci) (b) Initialize common code of a driver (mlx5_common) (c) Register mlx5 class PMDs (mlx5 net, mlx5 vdpa) Information registered by these PMDs is used by mlx5_bus_pci PMD. This mlx5 class PMDs should not confused with rte_class. (d) Register mlx5 PCI bus PMD Hence, introduce a new RTE priority level RTE_PRIO_COMMON which can be used for common initialization and RTE_PRIO_CLASS by mlx5 PMDs for class driver initialization.
