Following discussion with Praveen to clarify the issue and the fix, applied
with expanded commit-log message (below) to next-net-intel.
"""
net/cpfl: fix forwarding to physical port
CPFL PMD should be able to support below traffic forwarding capabilities
based on the rte flow action types.
1. Forwarding the traffic to the local CPFL vports using
port_representor action.
2. Forwarding the traffic to the physical IO ports using
represented_port action.
3. Forwarding the traffic to an IDPF VF using represented_port action.
The 2nd use case, forwarding the traffic to IO ports using
represented_port action, is not working due to the additional check
added in the previous patch (861261957684 ("net/cpfl: add checks for
flow action types"))
This patch removes the incorrect check to fix the issue.
