I definitely like your wording of the feature better than mine. All the
existing features were under 20 characters and I was trying to stay under
that.

I can do that if you want, but if I understand your comment, it will make
the implementation of the function not as clean. I cannot use the existing
RTE_ETH_VALID_PORTID_OR_ERR_RET(..) and RTE_FUNC_PTR_OR_ERR_RET(..) MACROs
because they are handling the return on error. Or am I missing something?
