Summary: the best would be to change networking-generic-switch to wait for the backend, and when the hw finished fill the provisioning info for the port (as ovs-agent is doing it for example) and Neutron can send VIF_Plugged based on that to other components. If during the change there is a need to change the driver interface we can discuss that and based on the specific request.
We discussed this RFE today on the drivers meeting: /meetings. opendev. org/meetings/ neutron_ drivers/ 2022/neutron_ drivers. 2022-06- 24-14.00. log.html# l-21
