Note the device status is printed in the bbdev-test app in that other patchset
in the series
https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20230215170949.60569-7-hernan.var...@intel.com/
Also calling that function then exercise interaction with underlying HW and PF
driver which is valuable and the expected usecase.
This is indeed relevant from vrb1 in term of current intel PMD implementation,
but the bbdev-test is HW agnostic.
Let us know if unclear,
