What is the benefit of this UIO approach compared to the OFED based driver?

The GPL sources are not really separated.
The DPDK libraries must be BSD-licensed.
> The GPL affected source codes reside in the mlnx_uio/kernel directory.
It seems that a large part of the GPL driver was also copied in mlnx_uio/mlnx/.
Given that you are dropping a huge GPL codebase (whose you don't own the copyright)
in a BSD library, and that you didn't give your real name in the signed-off line,
it is NACK.
