> Subject: [RFC v3 23/26] dev: hide driver object
>
> Make rte_driver opaque for non internal users.
> This will make extending this object possible without breaking the ABI.
>
> Introduce a new driver header and move rte_driver definition.
> Update drivers and library to use the internal header.

> Some applications may have been dereferencing rte_driver objects, mark
> this object's accessors as stable.

> Signed-off-by: David Marchand <david.march...@redhat.com>

> Changes since RFC v2:
