Almost there... Some changes were not made as discussed, please see below.

OK, "depending on PMD implementation" looks a bit redundant though.

Configuration object documentation needs updating since you changed its type
and fields.

These comments also apply to DEC_TCP_SEQ, INC_TCP_ACK and DEC_TCP_ACK.

"depending on PMD implementation" also redundant here.

You must include the extra fields you don't use (64/16/32/8 and
le/be/host/signed variants as described in previous messages) to limit the
risk of ABI breakage next time someone needs a field that isn't there yet.

This object must be able to accommodate the largest supported integer and
have the proper alignment constraints for any of these types, hence the
union with all of them from the start.

Seriously, why can't actions take "union rte_flow_integer" directly? Besides
"rte_flow_general_action" is vague as heck.

Seems like you made this structure so it could be extended later, but forgot
that doing so is not an option since ABIs are set in stone. You must make
new APIs as exhaustive and restrict their scope as much as possible from the
start because of that.

Note if you don't want to use union rte_flow_integer directly, it's also
fine to document your actions as taking (const rte_be32_t *) directly
through their conf pointer.
