[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] ethdev: fix byte order inconsistence between fdir flow and mask

[Jingjing Wu]

Fixed issue of byte order in ethdev library that the structure
for setting fdir's mask and flow entry is inconsist and made
inputs of mask be in big endian.

fixes: 76c6f89e80d4 ("ixgbe: support new flow director masks")
       2d4c1a9ea2ac ("ethdev: add new flow director masks")

Please be more precise. Which one is big endian?
Wasn't it tested before?

John, comment on release notes formatting?
It's important to have the first items well formatted.

These changes seem unrelated with the patch.
It's good to improve doc of this API but it's maybe not enough.
Example:
	uint8_t mac_addr_byte_mask;  /** Bit mask for associated byte */
Are we sure everybody understand how to fill it?

It is tested, it works. But byte order fields in the structures for fdir are not
consist, few are in host endian. It will make user confused, so this patch
is to make all fields in the same byte order.
