Hi Stephen,
The new function rte_eth_dev_set_link() below is declared as void.
Thus, the comments about its return value are wrong, and should be removed,
unless they still refer to a desired behaviour, in which case it is the
function itself that should be reworked to invoke rte_atomic64_cmpset and
to return its result.
Regards,
Ivan
