The patchset is fixing important issues with QEDE PMD in 18.05.
This patch fixes loss of port configuration by the application when changing/updating the MTU. The following patch in the set fixes application crash when wrong devarg is supplied or when VF devarg is supplied in PF environment.

Could you please include these fixes in 18.05 release?

Thanks!
