I can think of three options
1)Change max_profile to max_profiles_minus_one as name
2)In generic info_get, fix up max_profile as one if max_profile is zero after
PMD callback +
https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20231003150829.8257-1-pbhagavat...@marvell.com/
3) Or Keep as this patch.
Looks like (1) and (2) not very clean. I think, we can keep as (3) if you don't
have strong opinion.
