That bug was introduced by a broken fix, it wasn't present in the original
patch, please see yesterday's discussion [1].
RTE_FLOW_CONV_OP_(ITEM|ACTION)_NAME[_PTR] operations are documented as using
an integer type (enum rte_flow_item_type) cast as (void *) for src because
they convert item/action *types* to corresponding strings, i.e. no need to
allocate temporary items/actions just to retrieve their names. I thought it
would be more versatile and efficient that way.

Also, while it does work because type is the first field, it should have
read "&item->type" for correctness. Anyway this patch shouldn't be needed
assuming the broken fix is reverted.

Ditto.
