[0/9] redundant rte_vdev_driver declarations

  Many drivers declare the local rte_vdev_driver structure
multiple times.  This is unnecessary.

Surprised it is so common, I guess everyone copies the same code.

Stephen Hemminger (9):
  net/tap: remove redundant declarations
  net/af_packet: remove redundant rte_vdev_driver declaration

It seems it is common because a patchset explicitly added them [1] to set driver
name consistently, but later when another patch removed the related code [2] the
forward declarations seems forgotten to be removed.

I have updated commits to include the fixes lines so that they can be backported
(so that they don't cause additional conflicts for more serious patches in the
future.)

[1]: Fixes: 73db5badb042 ("net: align ethdev and eal driver names")
[2]: Fixes: 050fe6e9ff97 ("drivers/net: use ethdev allocation helper for vdev")
