Creating a new set of dev_ops for new FW is a way and it works, but it looks like it creates some duplication of the code, and maintaining multiple dev_ops can be difficult (driver already has different ones for PF & VF).

Another option can be keeping ethdev interface same, but manage different FWs closer to FW, where directly interacted with FW. Like keeping dev_ops as 'nfp_net_tx_queue_release()' and managing different FW within this function, instead of having two dev_ops,
'nfp_net_nfdk_tx_queue_release()' & 'nfp_net_nfd3_tx_queue_release()'.
If difference is small, this can be better to reduce duplication.

What is the difference between two FWs, as far as I can see Tx descriptor is different and queue setup is affected, is it only diff?

This part seems extracted to its own function for PF ('nfp_net_ethdev_ops_mount()'), why not do the same for VF, to have same logic between them.
