i40e: checkpatches.sh complains about long lines (it's ~85).
       I doubt that mechanical fix would keep the code readable.
       It's on 5th level of indentation, so I'd extract a function,
       but would like to hear from maintainers first.

  drivers/bus/pci/private.h             |  2 +-
  drivers/bus/vdev/vdev.c               |  4 +-
  drivers/bus/vdev/vdev_params.c        |  3 +-
  drivers/common/mlx5/mlx5_common_pci.c |  4 +-

bus_cmdline_options_handler in mlx5_common_pci.c has a call to strdup which needs to be renamed to rte_strdup
(Also failed CI: https://lab.dpdk.org/results/dashboard/patchsets/15674/ )

Frankly speaking I don't understand why such changes are useful/needed.
Patch description does not explain/prove it.
