Hi,

Jumping in although I cannot spend much time on rte_flow at the moment,
please see below.

Please revert, it breaks something that didn't need to be fixed. I don't
think this patch was validated properly.

As documented in RTE_FLOW_CONV_OP_ITEM_NAME, RTE_FLOW_CONV_OP_ACTION_NAME,
RTE_FLOW_CONV_OP_ITEM_NAME_PTR and RTE_FLOW_CONV_OP_ACTION_NAME_PTR:

 @p src type:
   @code (const void *)enum rte_flow_item_type @endcode

With the following reminder in rte_flow_conv_name()'s Doxygen documentation:

 @param[in] src
   Depending on @p is_action, source pattern item or action type cast as a
   pointer.

Hence the original conversion results in the expected behavior while this
one is almost guaranteed to trigger a segfault:

 -       unsigned int type = (uintptr_t)src;
 +       unsigned int type = *(const unsigned int *)src;

This can be validated with testpmd. See what happens with "flow list".
