[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] e1000: modify mac type checking before flex filter is programmed

[Wu, Jingjing]

Hi,

It's a fix. Because we don't support flex filter in NIC 82576 in current e1000 pmd, So add a check here. Only i350 and 82580 support it. So The MAC_TYPE_FILTER_SUP_EXT is used to check whether the MAC type is i350 or 82580.
