Hi Steve
The patch looks ok to me.

On 1/20/2022 8:29 AM, Steve Yang wrote:
When the size of EEPROM exceeds the default thread stack size(8MB),
e.g.: 10Mb size, it will be cashed with stack overflow.
Just spelling: 10Mb/10MB, cashed/crashed
Can even rephrase, like: it will crash due to stack overflow

Allocate the data of EPPROM information on the heap.

Fixes: 6b67721dee2a ("app/testpmd: add EEPROM command")
