Are we talking about this change only?
Or the move in the first patch from .c to .h?

The return type is not only for debug build?

The ABI is already broken for ethdev in 2.2.
So the symbol move should not hurt more.
And the API change (return type) should not be a big deal,
but at least an API change notification is required in the release notes.
Other opinion?

No NEXT_ABI is required when ABI is already broken IMHO.
