Yes, we try to add a common 'drivers/common/nfp' library and a 'dirvers/vdpa/nfp' PMD in this or next release cycle. For now, our cards are 1PF <--> n physical mode, and we will add support for 1PF <--> 1 physical mode and maybe m PF <--> n physical mode in the future. The modularization and refactor will make these works easier and the commits more natural to understand.
