When re-using someone else's work, please, retain the original
authorship.  I see there are changes made to the patch, but it's
the same as the original in many parts.  Since you made changes,
you should add yourself as co-authors.  If you feel that changes
made are more significant than the original ptch, then you may
swap the authorship, but you should add the original author to
the list of co-authors anyway.

In this version the rte_flow_flush() call is added instead of
failing the detach.  However,

a. the flush operation should have already been executed from
   the higher layer from do_del_port() in dpif-netdev.  So,
   it should not be needed.

b. The problem doesn't apper to be addressed, because related
   ports will not get their flows flushed.
