Thanks for this fix.

I did quick search for other references:

I think the ones in ixgbe, szedata and examples/ipv4_multicast/main.c could be
fixed without risk.
Some don't look critical for now (ex: testpmd), but could be integrated in this
patch too.

For others, I think we can let the maintainers have a look.

Thanks,
Olivier
