Hi Badal,
Thanks for sending this RFC through! It's good to have some early input
on the structure here.

This is exceptionally verbose for "we would like to add a MCTP transport
driver". :)

This sounds like the best approach to me. The MCTP transport drivers in
drivers/net/mctp are intended to be fairly hardware-agnostic, and all
are spec compliant. I see no issue with having your own code do a
mctp_register_netdev() from elsewhere in the tree.
I'll also reply on 1/1 with some implementation comments.

Then please ensure you have read
Documentation/process/coding-assistants.rst, as you are missing the
Attribution requirements from that.
Cheers,
Jeremy
