Thanks for your review and comments.

I clean this up on next revision.

I recently just synced up with latest libfc/libfcoe and used fcoe as example.
Thanks for pointing this out. I'll take a look at fnic way

The comma is for the priority associated particularly with that interface.
If openfc-dev can formalize the format, we adapt to it.

Ok

Ok
