Hi,

The above commit also has throws a warning with ICC:

    lib/librte_pmd_null/rte_eth_null.c(47): error #83:
        type qualifier specified more than once

      static const char const *valid_arguments[] = {
                        ^

                        
An earlier commit also throws a warning with ICC:

            static const char const *valid_arguments[] = {
            ^

        ethdev: attach or detach port


I applied the following patch to fix these issues, (in order to test with the HEAD). You can review them to see if they are valid and apply something similar:
