can we also add something like below or so to above line

rte_event_queue_conf structure is ignored when a queue is being
configured instead rte_event::sched_type
shall be used.

Also, git commit subject "eventdev: increase flexibility of all-types

like this from day 1.
I would suggest the subject as "eventdev: clarify all-types flag
documentation" or so.

With above changes,
