Thanks for the patch. It's missing a "fixes" line as descripted here:
http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/contributing/patches.html#commit-messages-body
so can you perhaps reply with the id of the commit this is fixing, (or add it
into the commit message if you end up doing a V2 of the patch)

Helin, can you perhaps review this patch as i40e maintainer.

Can we use LIST_FOREACH_SAFE?
