[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 03/52] net/ice/base: disable profile merge for FDIR

[Qi Zhang]

For Flow Director, we don't want to re-use a existed profile with the
same field vector and mask. Merging two different flow_type’s field
vector will also make them sharing trained rule and cause rule
interference.

For example:
issue rule A: IPV4_TCP matching tcp src&dst port 80  to queue 8
issue rule B: IPV6_TCP matching tcp src&dst port 200 to queue 20
Below behavior is found but not expected:
IPV4_TCP pkt with src&dst port 200 hits rule B and goes to queue 20
IPV6_TCP pkt with src&dst port 80  hits rule A and goes to queue 8
