You are doing this check in eal_check_common_options().
I think you can do the check earlier in eal_parse_common_option()
with 2 static variables, instead of implementing the
new function eal_option_device_type_count().

Just a last comment about variable name:
Instead of deo, opt or option would be more meaningful.

Thanks for the important fix!
