When ring PMD created via PMD specific API instead of EAL abstraction it is missing the virtual device creation done by EAL vdev.
And this makes eth_dev unusable exact same as other PMDs used, because of some missing fields, like rte_device->name. Now API creates a virtual device and sets proper fields, not all, and it still won't be linked in the virtual device list eal keeps track. But makes PMD usable in usual manner.
