Looks good, some minor AI notes on commit messages and doc

Review: [PATCH v4 00/15] division round up consolidation

Series applies cleanly to main. Each patch touches a disjoint set of
files, so with 01/15 first the series is bisect safe. Build of all
affected drivers, dpdk-proc-info, dpdk-test and dpdk-test-compress-perf
with -Dwerror=true is clean.

No errors or warnings.

Series

Info: remaining private copies not covered by this series, candidates
for a follow-up:
  drivers/raw/ifpga/base/opae_osdep.h   DIV_ROUND_UP (map like cxgbe)
  drivers/crypto/ccp/ccp_dev.h          CCP_DIV_ROUND_UP
  drivers/common/qat/dev/qat_dev_gen_lce.c  LCE_DIV_ROUND_UP
  drivers/net/sfc/sfc_dp.h              SFC_DIV_ROUND_UP
  drivers/common/sxe2/sxe2_osal.h       SXE2_DIV_ROUND_UP
  drivers/common/cnxk/roc_platform.h    PLT_DIV_CEIL
sfc_efx base (EFX_DIV_ROUND_UP) is shared code and should stay.

Patch 01/15 eal: introduce division round up macro

Info: the Doxygen repeats itself. "Evaluated twice" is in @param d and
again in the first @note; "non-negative" is in @param n and again in
the second @note. Keep the @param text and drop the duplicate notes.

The plain expression form (not a statement expression with typeof) is
correct here: several converted users need an integer constant
expression (array bound via BITS_TO_LONGS in rnp.h, MAX_KEY_DWORDS in
hns3_fdir.c, CNIC_ILT_LINES in bnx2x.h).

Patch 05/15 net/qede, 10/15 net/cxgbe, 11/15 net/ena

Info: commit message says RTE_DIV_ROUND_UP "makes DIV_ROUND_UP
redundant", but these patches keep DIV_ROUND_UP as an alias for base/
code. Say that instead, e.g.:

  Map DIV_ROUND_UP to RTE_DIV_ROUND_UP for the shared base code
  and use RTE_DIV_ROUND_UP directly elsewhere in the driver.

Patch 05/15 net/qede

Info: bcm_osal.h still defines RTE_ROUNDUP in the driver, squatting on
the RTE_ namespace the same way the removed RTE_DIV_ROUND_UP did.
RTE_ALIGN_MUL_CEIL() is the equivalent. Follow-up, not this series.

Patch 06/15 net/rnp

Info: nothing in DPDK defines BITS_TO_LONGS, so the new #ifndef guard
does nothing; drop it.
