Thinking twice I am not sure if above change works.

Since function is in the header file, and the .c file that assign
the 'dev->rx_pkt_burst' and the .c file that check function pointer
are different, these two different instance of same function may
have different addresses and above check may fail when it should match.

I guess solution is move the function to a .c file and export it
internally.
I was thinking to add ethdev_driver.c file, perhaps this can be
a motivation to start that file.
Thomas, Andrew, what do you think about ethdev_driver.c file?
