Yes. In the case of net/sfc it requires a patch to call sfc_dev_close()
from uninit. I think network PMD maintainers should be notified

I thought that it is sufficient to stop traffic and the port may be stopped
automatically by PMD. Not sure about it, just would like to clarify my
previous notes.
