You are right it has been used in a few other drivers too, but what exactly "Pre-Installation Configuration" means? I think it is historical, remaining from times that device options was compile time options and needs to be configured before build. But these are dynamic runtime configurations, and I think shouldn't be under "Pre-Installation Configuration", instead can have its own section. @John, what do you think, a few existing samples: - https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/nics/i40e.html#pre-installation-configuration - https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/nics/idpf.html#pre-installation-configuration
