It is necessary to check if this prot_type(tunnel type) is valid here in case applications don't do that.

It is used in both rte_ethdev.h file and rte_eth_ctrl.h file.
In rte_eth_ctrl.h file, it is used in rte_eth_tunnel_filter_conf structure.
+struct rte_eth_tunnel_filter_conf {
+ ...
+ enum rte_eth_tunnel_type tunnel_type; /**< Tunnel Type. */
+ ...
+};
I will put the rte_eth_tunnel_type definition in the rte_eth_ctrl.h file at the beginning of definition.

I will add more comment for it.

Yes, your understanding is correct. It is for a whole port/PF, that's why we should add
tunnel_type in rte_eth_conf structure.
