Good catch, I missed it when doing the patch
"log: choose EAL log type on registration failure"
https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20210405100301.657768-2-thomas@monjalon.net/

About the title, I would not say it fixes the registration.
It is more about catching registration failure with a fallback.
