I prefer having the new API stuff, documentation and testpmd implementation
at once especially since it's not a large patch, but it's your call.

Another note, you could use uint8_t[] to mitigate the endianness issue,
e.g.:

 struct rte_flow_item_mpls {
     /**
      * Label (20b), TC (3b), Bottom of Stack (1b).
      */
     uint8_t label_tc_s[3];
     uint8_t ttl; /** Time-to-Live. */
 };

 /** Default mask for RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_MPLS. */
 static const struct rte_flow_item_mpls rte_flow_item_mpls_mask = {
     .label_tc_s = "\xff\xff\xf0",
 };
