Eswitch has two users: IB and ETH. They both register repersentors when mlx5 interface is added, and unregister the repersentors when mlx5 interface is removed. Ideally, each driver should only deal with the entities which are unique to itself. However, current IB and ETH drivers have to perform the following eswitch operations: 1. When registering, specify how many vports to register. This number is the same for both drivers which is the total available vport numbers. 2. When unregistering, specify the number of registered vports to do unregister. Also, unload the repersentors which are already loaded. It's unnecessary for eswitch driver to hands out the control of above operations to individual driver users, as they're not unique to each driver. Instead, such operations should be centralized to eswitch driver. This consolidates eswitch control flow, and simplified IB and ETH driver. This patch doesn't change any functionality.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
