Subject: [PATCH] ethdev: deprecate legacy filter API
As stated in the deprecation notice from December 2016, "the legacy filter
API, including rte_eth_dev_filter_supported(),
rte_eth_dev_filter_ctrl() as well as filter types MACVLAN, ETHERTYPE,
FLEXIBLE, SYN, NTUPLE, TUNNEL, FDIR, HASH and L2_TUNNEL, is superseded
by the generic flow API (rte_flow)".
After a long wait of more than two years, the legacy filter API is marked as
deprecated, while still tested with testpmd and the tep_termination
example.
The next step will be to announce a deadline for complete removal.
As preparation of the removal of rte_eth_ctrl.h, RTE_ETH_FLOW_*,
RTE_TUNNEL_TYPE_* and RTE_ETH_HASH_FUNCTION_* definitions are
moved to rte_ethdev.h and rte_flow.h.
