patch 'net/tap: use MAC address parse API instead of local parser' has been queued to stable release 22.11.4

[Xueming Li]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 22.11.4

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 11/15/23. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/log/?h=22.11-staging

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/commit/?h=22.11-staging&id=6754edbeb547425eea2e06eface8a6214a6621d8

Thanks.

Cc: Xueming Li <xuemingl at nvidia.com>

[ upstream commit b79d825f32cb0012164b26428272b1ea268f839d ]

Building DPDK with gcc 12 on a ppc64le system generates a
stringop-overflow warning. Replace the local MAC address
validation function parse_user_mac() with a call to
rte_ether_unformat_addr() instead.
