The DPDK policy is that experimental status should be short term with the expectation that it will be removed after one or two releases. A large part of the ethdev API has been left marked experimental long past that point. Several API's have stayed experimental as far back as 17.11. This series promotes 119 ethdev symbols introduced in 24.11 or earlier. It also cleans up comments warnings on structures and inline functions.
The trace point symbols are left experimental on purpose; trace infrastructure is intended to stay unstable.
