[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] doc: announce change in ETH and VLAN item structs

[Dekel Peled]

Structs rte_flow_item_eth and rte_flow_item_vlan will be modified,
to include an additional value, indicating existence or absence of VLAN
headers following the current header, as proposed in RFC
https://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2020-August/177536.html.
Because of ABI break this change is proposed for 20.11.
