It would be good if DTS and DPDK docs and test did not use the ifconfig command.
Ifconfig is not maintained and is deprecated. Some distros have stopped shipping it.
Ifconfig only used ioctl's and was never updated to handle the many kinds of interfaces
and devices in Linux.
The documentation part is relatively straight forward, but there are lots
of calls to ifconfig in DTS.

Can you send patches for the doc?

We discussed this topic, the DTS patch that was merged in the last DPDK release does not need ifconfig. The future patches, for dpdk repo, will use 'ip' command.
The existing DTS tree will not be changed.
