Ack will send v9.

I feel the same we could do something like
test_ptype_mask = ptype_mask;
while (test_ptype_mask) {
uint8_t mask = test_ptype_mask & RTE_PTYPE_L2_MASK;
if (mask && (mask != RTE_PTYPE_L2_MASK)) {
if (num > 0)
set_ptypes[0] = RTE_PTYPE_UNKNOWN;
return -EINVAL;
}
test_ptype_mask >>= __builtin_popcount(RTE_PTYPE_L2_MASK);
}

My bad. Will cleanup in v9.

Yes, I will add support for net/octeontx2.
