Hi David,

Thanks for the patch.

I also see a similar error with iavf using dpdk-22.11.1. But in my case, I
see  2 more additional error logs showing up during iavf_dev_configure().
It's with ESX-8.0U1 with an inbox driver. Firmware upgrade did not
resolve the issue though.

I was currently following up with KaiwenX on this. Attached the mail thread
for reference.

Could you please let me know if this patch would fix the issue or any more
additional fixes are needed?

Regards,
Amiya
