According to my understanding, seems like the logical is:

    if 'device have no port need ipoib initialization'
            return

And here since there are some initial work to do, it iterate all the
port to find out which one need to be initialized.

Here if we have done nothing when add a device, then nothing
need to be cleanup when remove it.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but seems like the idea is use twice
check on different level to save some cycles?
