Currently，this documentation does not describe whether pkt_len and data_len should contain crc_len.
Do you mean that we add this description in the KEEP_CRC feature document
and notify all drivers that support KEEP_CRC to follow this documentation?
If so, can you merge this patch first?
Then we send a RFC to disscuss it with all PMDs maintainer.
