Can you describe the problem first?

What is expected and what is currently happening?

How does your fix address this issue?

As a general comment, 
1- this patch is a V3 of the original series : http://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=27465
2- you should be sending it as a reply to v1 and set version numbers in general stating the diff in between the versions.
3- I see only v1 was sent as one series then you decided to send it as one patch at a time is there a reason for that?
4- I'd appreciate it if you can send a V4 that has these details so that it will be clear on what is changing.

Kindest regards,
Raslan Darawsheh
