You can't recreate common shared subsystems in a driver just because
you don't want to work with the subsystem.
I don't care what else the ASIC has. In Linux the netdev part is
exposed through netdev, the RDMA part through RDMA, the
totally-not-a-GPU part through drivers/misc.
It is always been this way. Chelsio didn't get to rebuild the SCSI
stack in their driver just because "storage is a small part of their
device"
Drivers are not allowed to re-implement I2C/SPI/etc without re-using
the comon code for that just because "I2C is a small part of their
device"
Exposing to userspace the creation of RoCE QPs and their related
objects are unambiguously a RDMA subsystem task. I don't even know how
you think you can argue it is not. It is your company proudly claiming
the device has 100G RoCE ports in all the marketing literature, after
all.
It is too bad the device has a non-standards compliant implementation
of RoCE so this will be a bit hard for you. Oh well.
