This patch addresses a resource-assignment issue in L2TPv2 flow pattern
matching. I have reviewed it against the DPDK guidelines and have the
following comments:

Subject: [PATCH] net/ice: fix L2TPv2 outer MAC address in training packet

The commit fixes incorrect placement of outer MAC addresses in L2TPv2
training packets by detecting L2TPv2 tunnel type during pre-scan and using
the correct base pointer for MAC insertion.

The patch changes pointer arithmetic from 'loc' to 'pkt' for MAC address
insertion. Does ice_pkt_insert_mac_addr() verify that 'pkt + ETH_ALEN'
stays within the allocated packet buffer bounds in all cases?

According to the DPDK C coding style, comparisons to NULL and 0 should be
explicit. Does this code follow the guideline? The comparison with
RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_VXLAN on the previous line should also use an explicit
comparison operator:

        if (item->type == RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_VXLAN)

Additionally, can tunnel_type be overwritten if both VXLAN and L2TPV2
patterns are present? Should these conditions be mutually exclusive using
else-if, or is there validation elsewhere that prevents conflicting tunnel
types?
