hi Cornelia,
using string is based on the consideration that we want to make this
version string a thing that can distinguish a mdev, so we incoportate
vendor id, device id to identify parent device first, then mdev type to
describe the mdev based on the parent device. And that's only for gen8 and
gen9. For future platforms, we may incorpate more information, e.g. besides
vendor id and device id, different device revision number, or even a value
in a register on the run may be needed to identify a parent device.
I think it's cleaner than a numeric version between m and n, because in that
case we have to maintain what m's configration is and what n's is.
whenever a mdev type is added (like changing a resolution type in mdev
type) a new version is generated. it's too complicated.
That's why we use current way: version describe parent device + mdev type
elaborately, then vendor driver checks compatibility according to this
information.
Do you think it's all right?

Agree. thank you. I'll keep error codes consistently in future.

Right, case "not suppporting live migration" should return -ENODEV.
Thanks:)

That's also a good choice :)
