Thanks for fixing this bug, a few comments below.

Nit-picking here, there is a missing space in the above comment.

rte_v128u32_t does not exist (yet) in the tree, this patch therefore depends
on "eal: define generic vector types" [1]. Such dependencies should be
mentioned as a notes section of a patch (after a three-dash line).

Regarding stable@dpdk.org, un case the vector types patch is not applied on
the stable branch, you'll also have to provide your own definition.

Otherwise,
