You're right, it's unnecessary. I can remove this change or leave it as a
safety measure for future contributions, since when parsing a VLAN item
one is not necessarily aware of what happened in previous iterations.

How about an assertion check for debugging purposes instead?

 RTE_ASSERT(!(input_set & I40E_INSET_LAST_ETHER_TYPE));
