Thanks for contribute this.
I have no objection for this change.

But you know , base code is kind of special code in driver, it is shared by different platform,
Intel DPDk team will update base code timely based on Intel's base code team's release.
So we are not prefer to make much difference from the original version which make things complex for code update.
So usually we will only accept necessary patch (like critical fix, missing device configure... which may impact our customer)

Since this is the patch for code clean, I think it's better we just feedback to our base code team , and hope this could be captured in next update.
Is that ok for you?
Thanks for your understanding

Regards
Qi
