Have reviewed them both, the 2nd patch (618bbdab47) is not applicable
to 17.11 as it does not even have that spurious error log
while the 1st one does not apply because of the shift from RTE_LOG to
PMD_DRV_LOG mechanism post 17.11...
Having said that don't think it's that important for it go to stable
now i guess unless anybody else differs with that?
Basically, we don't need these 2 patches to  be applied to 17.11

Thanks
