Hi,

looking at the code in DPDK for 19.11, rte_ether.h no longer has the
unaligned_uint16_t type in rte_ether.h. For example, line 84 of rte_ether.h
should read as below:

 81 static inline int rte_is_same_ether_addr(const struct rte_ether_addr *ea1,
 82                                      const struct rte_ether_addr *ea2)
 83 {
 84         const uint16_t *w1 = (const uint16_t *)ea1;
 85         const uint16_t *w2 = (const uint16_t *)ea2;
 86

Have you got mixed header files from two different DPDK releases?
