Again, it is up to you, but it should be possible to add 'dev' or 'hw' reference to the queue struct, to be able to access the version information. And it can be possible to have something like 'struct fw_ops', set it during initialization and use in rest of the dev_ops.

For the function 'nfp_net_ethdev_ops_mount()', the logic below is in two 
different C files, nfp_ethdev.c and nfp_ethdev_vf.c And the variable of struct 
eth_dev_ops is defined as static, if we want to use function both in 
nfp_ethdev.c and nfp_ethdev_vf.c We need to change the eth_dev_ops variable as 
non-static, this is not we want.

My comment was to extract the logic into its own function as it is done is PF, so to have something like 'nfp_netvf_ethdev_ops_mount()'.

Modify nfp driver logic, add firmware version (NFD3 or NFDK) judgment,

Creating a new set of dev_ops for new FW is a way and it works, but it looks like 
it creates some duplication of the code, and maintaining multiple dev_ops can be 
difficult (driver already has different ones for PF & VF).

Another option can be keeping ethdev interface same, but manage different FWs 
closer to FW, where directly interacted with FW.
Like keeping dev_ops as 'nfp_net_tx_queue_release()' and managing different FW 
within this function, instead of having two dev_ops, 
'nfp_net_nfdk_tx_queue_release()' & 'nfp_net_nfd3_tx_queue_release()'.
If difference is small, this can be better to reduce duplication.

What is the difference between two FWs, as far as I can see Tx descriptor is 
different and queue setup is affected, is it only diff?

This part seems extracted to its own function for PF 
('nfp_net_ethdev_ops_mount()'), why not do the same for VF, to have same logic 
between them.
