This ends up being an ABI breakage, can't change a struct like that
until 22.11 release.


Indeed, but Nicolas mentioned in the cover-letter that the patch targets
v22.11; not this release.

However, a deprecation notice should be sent for v22.07 if it hasn't been
done yet.

I have sent this deprecation Maxime:
https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/1647542252-35727-2-git-send-email-nicolas.chau...@intel.com/
Do you believe this needs to be extended to cover more details the change and 
including this device status info explicitly? I can update the verbiage in more 
details if required

Thanks for the pointer, I missed it.
Reading the deprecation notice, it is not clear to me it is about the
device status info enum.

Maybe rewording it a bit to be more specific would help.

Thanks,
Maxime
