No need a v2, if you are agree I can remove while merging.

The commit is not fixing any old code in DPDK, if the intention of making this
patch a fix is to backport the patch, we can do same via stable tag, fix not needed.
If these devices were ready at that time, in 17.08, but forgotten in that commit
to be added, than I see the fix but this looks unlikely since it is almost two
years ago.
