Yuanhan,

 - 0603df7  Nélio Laranjeiro net/mlx5: fix Rx packet validation and type

Depends on another fix:
 501505c5608a "net/mlx: fix IPv4 and IPv6 packet type",
please apply this one before and mine will then apply without any
conflict.

According to our discussion [1], please do not handle the following
patches:

 - f04f1d5  Nélio Laranjeiro net/mlx5: fix Tx WQE corruption caused by starvation
 - 8fcd6c2  Nélio Laranjeiro net/mlx5: fix inline WQE consumption

They need to be totally re-written to apply on top of DPDK 16.11 stable
branch.

Thanks,
