[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/2] net/mlx4: fix crash in dev_info_get in secondary process

[Raslan Darawsheh]

Hi Stephen, 

Wrong headline format:
        net/mlx4: fix crash in dev_info_get in secondary process
can you please fix it? You shouldn't use the _ in the title format

Kindest regards,
Raslan Darawsheh
