Hi,

Calling rte_eth_dev_info_get() and not checking its return value
before dereferencing
the dev_info pointer is a critical error in Openvswitch code. It can lead
to a crash (segmentation fault) or unpredictable behavior if the function
fails to retrieve the device information.

I saw it has been fixed in most of the functions except
in netdev_dpdk_set_config(). Please take a look at the patch and let me
know if you have questions.

Thanks,
Jay
