Might be worthwhile using an enum like INTEL_XE_DRIVER instead of

This is already per driver, no need to add that in the name? just
driver_context or pci_driver_context? Also, where is gputop_driver
struct defined? (Didn't find it in this patch set)

should this be driver_num or driver_id?

is this check only for reassignment of device_present or should it
include the below statements as well?
> + driver_entry->len++;

should this be renamed to driver_entry->engine_instances so we are clear
about which instances this refers to?

should these be under the conditional if check above as well? Or will we
end up incrementing len twice and duplicate realloc? Unless this refers
to driver instances?

Thanks,

Vinay.
