[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 38/38] net/sfc: update comment about representor support

From: Viacheslav Galaktionov <viacheslav.galaktionov at oktetlabs.ru>

The representor support has been implemented to some extent, and the fact
that ethdev mport is equivalent to entity mport is by design.

Fixes: 1fb65e4dae8 ("net/sfc: support flow action port ID in transfer rules")
