MLX5 common driver supports probing again in two scenarios:
- Add new driver under existing device. common probe function gets
it in devargs, then calls the requested driver's probe function
(regardless of the driver's own support in probing again) with the
existing device as parameter.
- Transfer the probing again support of the drivers themselves
(currently only net). In this scenario, the existing device is sent
as a parameter to the existing driver's probe too.
In both cases it gets a new set of arguments that do not necessarily
match the configured arguments in the existing device.
Some of the arguments belong to the configuration of the existing
device, so they can't be updated in the probing again. On the other
hand, there are arguments that belong to a specific driver or specific
port and might get a new value in the probing again.
The user might generate any argument he wants in probing again, but when
he generates arguments belonging to the common device configuration, it
does not affect.
This patch adds an explicit check for the devargs belonging to the
common device configuration. If there is no match to the existing
configuration, it returns an error.
