The driver providing the virtio should really be in control of the

As replied in another thread, there were already existed devices

Why is that a justification? Drivers can learn to use devlink, it
isn't like it is set in stone.
Technically, I fully agree. But vendors has their right to to other way
unless devlink is forced when creating netdevice.
