You indentation is botched, either by your editor or mail client.
The DPDK format is same as Linux kernel:

That function should look like:

/* ************************************************************************* */
int
ark_ddm_verify(struct ark_ddm_t *ddm)
{
	if (sizeof(struct ark_ddm_t) != ARK_DDM_EXPECTED_SIZE) {
		fprintf(stderr, "  DDM structure looks incorrect %d vs %zd\n",
			ARK_DDM_EXPECTED_SIZE, sizeof(struct ark_ddm_t));
		return -1;
	}

	if (ddm->cfg.const0 != ARK_DDM_CONST) {
		fprintf(stderr, "  DDM module not found as expected 0x%08x\n",
			ddm->cfg.const0);
		return -1;
	}
	return 0;
}

Also drivers should not log to standard error but instead use the DPDK RTE logging
facility.
