Hello Thomas,? Regarding the documentation, we are going to add a description in doc/guides/nics in updated patch early on the upcoming week.
The full device spec still undergoes internal review, and will be released as soon as we have the approvals.

VFIO is the driver which should cover every needs for userspace drivers requiring a generic kernel module. Another approach is used for mlx devices. Thanks for checking how to improve your driver. My other question was about documentation. I don't know your device. Please any info or pointer?
