FTR, the above is quite the opposite of my understanding of the whole
conversation so far. If the whole delta under discussion is just that,
we could make such a change at any given time (and I would strongly
support the idea to make it only when the devlink bits will be ready)
and its presence (or absence) will not block the net_device/devlink
shaper callback consolidation in any way.

I thought Jiri intended the whole core bits to be adapted to handle
'binding' instead of net_device, to allow a more seamless plug of
devlink.
@Jiri: did I misread your words?

Thanks,

Paolo
