I think we should write C11 (uppercase).
Please, in your explanations, try to be more specific.
Naming fields may help to make things clear.

Why do you remove the volatile keyword?
It is not explained in the commit log.
This change is triggering a warning in the ABI check:
http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/test-report/2020-July/140440.html
Moving from volatile to non-volatile is probably not an issue.
I expect the code generated for the volatile case to work the same
in non-volatile case. Do you confirm?
In any case, we need an explanation and an ABI check exception.
