I'm not sure that I understand your question correctly, but there is no
driver specific messages.The function is intended for application usage
only, not for drivers. The function has default format of link status,
but application can customize it for own needs. We have disscussed it
before. some dpdk applications like testpmd has custom status formating
which lays on few lines of screen. so the function supports custom link
messages just to not break screen layout of applications.
