This needs to be int, not uint32_t as you return a negative value on error.

This looks odd, define the mfex_study_pkts_count as an atomic_uint32_t and 
store/read the value.

If we set it atomically, we also need to read it atomically.

Please do proper argument handling, as this will make it crash/look odd:

Should we call dp_mfex_impl_set_default_by_name() if we only set a single PMD? 
I do not think, as we change the default for all.

Don’t really like those argc comparisons, etc, why not just deal with all the 
parameter options sweeping argv/c once, like suggested in an earlier review? I 
think I suggested looking at pmd_perf_show_cmd().

All these checks should have been done before doing the 
dp_mfex_impl_set_default_by_name() above, or else on failure the default has 
changed.

How can this be negative, mfex_set_study_pkt_cnt() returns a uint32_t? Guess 
mfex_set_study_pkt_cnt() needs to change, see above.

If you add the OVS_UNUSED to argc in patch 1, you need to remove it here.

Guess this check needs to happen before we set the default, although, see 
above, we should not change the default for a single thread.
