This is same in the eth_dev too.

These are helper functions, and implementing them in .h file has the
benefit of function goes into PMD library, and there is no dependency
from PMDs to librte_ether for these functions (there are dependencies
for other functions ..).

It looks acceptable for me for helper functions to be implemented in
header file. But if we decide to move them into .c file, .map file
should be updated to export them, and I suppose ethdev also should be
updated to be compatible.

Thanks,
ferruh
