[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1 0/5] clean-up cpuflags

[Jan Viktorin]

Hello Thomas,

the patch set fails when compiling for ARMv7 with the following (full
build.log is attached):

/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/dpdk-armv7-testing/workspace/lib/librte_eal/common/arch/arm/rte_cpuflags.c:114:22: error: ‘REG_PLATFORM’ undeclared here (not in a function)
  FEAT_DEF(V7L,       REG_PLATFORM, 0)

                          ^
