## PATCH 3/4: net/ixgbe: fix SCTP FDIR rules without port masks

**ERRORS:**

1. **Logic error in SCTP port mask validation**

   Line in patch:
   ```c
   if (!fdir_ctx->supports_sctp_ports &&
       (sctp_mask->hdr.src_port || sctp_mask->hdr.dst_port)) {
   ```

   The condition `(sctp_mask->hdr.src_port || sctp_mask->hdr.dst_port)` uses implicit truthiness on integers. DPDK coding standards require explicit comparison against zero:
   
   ```c
   if (!fdir_ctx->supports_sctp_ports &&
       (sctp_mask->hdr.src_port != 0 || sctp_mask->hdr.dst_port != 0)) {
   ```

**WARNINGS:**

None identified.

**INFO:**

None.

## PATCH 4/4: net/ixgbe: fix FDIR tunnel inner MAC mask validation

**ERRORS:**

None identified.

**WARNINGS:**

None identified.

**INFO:**

None.

## Summary

One error identified in patch 3/4: implicit truthiness comparison on integer port mask values. The code checks `sctp_mask->hdr.src_port` and `sctp_mask->hdr.dst_port` directly in a boolean context, which violates the DPDK style requirement for explicit comparison against zero for non-boolean types. The fix is straightforward: add `!= 0` to each port mask check.
