To call the rte_rawdev_info_get() function, the user currently has to know the underlying type of the device in order to pass an appropriate structure or buffer as the dev_private pointer in the info structure. By allowing a NULL value for this field, we can skip getting the device-specific info and just return the generic info - including the device name and driver, which can be used to determine the device type - to the user. This ensures that basic info can be get for all rawdevs, without knowing the type, and even if the info driver API call has not been implemented for the device.
