Hi Stephen, This is follow up to an existing patchset: https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=27400&state=* Although field is addition to the "struct rte_eth_rss_conf" struct, it is embedded into "struct rte_eth_conf" which is parameter to an API, so change cause size increase in outer struct and causes ABI breakage, requiring deprecation notice.
