> The value of these flags is 0, making them useless. Today, no example
> application checks them on Rx, and only few drivers sets them and
> silently give wrong packets to the application, which should not happen.
> 
> This patch removes the unused flags from rte_mbuf and their use in the
> drivers. The i40e and fm10k are kept as they are today and should be
> fixed to drop bad packets. The enic driver is managed by its maintainer
> in another patch.
> 
> Fixes: c22265f6 ("mbuf: add new packet flags for i40e")
