Hi Luca,

I've just submitted a patch that's a backported version of 
29343b9030e38e8c3519ba01cb66724d45b13dc8, wouthout the dependency on the 
CPCC driver patch set.

I was able to reproduce the issue without this patch, and the autotest 
passes after this patch is applied.

Patchwork link here: 
http://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20210813141830.15397-1-david.hunt@intel.com/

Checkpatch complains about the commit-id's as they're from the dpdk 
repo, not dpdk-stable, I hope that's ok?

Rgds,

Dave.
