[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v8 1/8] bbdev: add big endian processing data processing info

[Chautru, Nicolas]

Hi Nipin, 
As mentioned earlier the bbdev api change related to endianness would be more explicit as an enum. 
I have put the change here as an adjusted proposal : https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/1633553929-58670-2-git-send-email-nicolas.chautru@intel.com/
I have also set default value for existing PMDs for backward compatibility and put a note in rel_notes
Let me know if unclear or other opinion
Thanks
Nic
