Yep we can, and yes it will simplify this peace of code.
The main reason I decided no to do this change now -
it will change layout of the_eth_dev_data structure.
In this series I tried to mininize(/avoid) changes in rte_eth_dev and
rte_eth_dev_data,
as much as possible to avoid any unforeseen performance and functional impacts.
If we'll manage to make rte_eth_dev and rte_eth_dev_data private we can in
future
consider that one and other changes in rte_eth_dev and rte_eth_dev_data layouts
without worrying about ABI breakage.
