The changes look good to me. Can I however suggest to split the
patch in 2 as below?

- net: fix definition of ipv6 traffic class mask
- net: add definition for dscp and ecn masks

I see that you already CC'd mlx5 maintainers, as the driver uses the
RTE_IPV6_HDR_TC_MASK definition.

Also, it looks that it may conflict with this patch:

It is maybe preferable to integrate your patchset first, then rebase
Fan's patchset on top of it.

Thanks,
Olivier
