The robustness of the strtoul() could be improved with something like the
following to catch non-integer characters following the port number.
char *end = NULL;
tmp = strtoull(val, &end, 0);
if ((val[0] == '\0') || (end == NULL) || (*end != '\0') || (errno != 0))

The usage of strtoul() should be moved to be within the
strcmp(MLX4_PMD_PORT_KVARG, key) IF statement. That way the "val" would only
be parsed if "key" is "port" and it is expected that "val" is an integer.

It would be helpful for debugging if the error message included the devargs so
that we can see what is wrong with the input.

Rather than use a loop to populate all active fields would a #define with an
all ports mask be better suited to this. Or alternatively just change the IF
statement below to use the following and avoid the need for this loop
altogether:
if (conf.active_ports & !(conf.active_ports & (1 << i)))
continue;
