Thanks for the fix! And here are few more minor nits you might want be
awre of:

- a fix patch needs a fixline (check http://dpdk.org/dev for howto just
  in case you don't know)

- if it fixes a fatal bug (like this one), it should also be picked (or
  backported) to a specific stable release. In this case, you should add
     Cc: stable at dpdk.org

  just before your SoB (Signed-off-by).
