[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/e1000: do not error out if rx_drop_en is set

[Luca Boccassi <bluca@debian.org>]

rx_drop_en is an optimization that does nothing on single-queue
devices like e1000. Do not force applications that do not care to
select per-devices optimizations flags by returning an error, just
log it and carry on.

Fixes: 805803445a02 ("e1000: support EM devices (also known as e1000/e1000e)")
