Question on a patch in lib/ethdev/ethdev_driver.c

[Thierry Herbelot]

Hello,

Commit 9a9eb104ed ("ethdev: parse multiple representor devargs") removes
the following variable initialization in rte_eth_devargs_parse():

	memset(eth_da, 0, sizeof(*eth_da));

This in turn causes a failure in ixgbe PCI probe on Arm server:

	eth_ixgbe_pci_probe(): unsupported representor type:

Indeed, nb_representor_ports was supposed to be correctly defined when
calling rte_eth_devargs_parse().

The question is:
why was "memset(eth_da, 0, sizeof(*eth_da));" removed ?
This is not explained in the commit log.

	Best regards

	Thierry
