We replace the above values with the defaults passed by the driver

        if (adptr_p_conf.dequeue_depth > dev_info.max_event_port_dequeue_depth)
                adptr_p_conf.dequeue_depth =
                        dev_info.max_event_port_dequeue_depth;
        if (adptr_p_conf.enqueue_depth > dev_info.max_event_port_enqueue_depth)
                adptr_p_conf.enqueue_depth =
                        dev_info.max_event_port_enqueue_depth;

Still I missed setting it to configurable defaults used for worker ports as
below

        struct rte_event_port_conf adptr_p_conf = {
                .dequeue_depth = cdata.worker_cq_depth,
                .enqueue_depth = 64,
                .new_event_threshold = 1200,
        };

I will send the v2 soon
