[dpdk-dev] ethdev: improve doc for name by port ID API
Checks
Commit Message
From: Ivan Malov <ivan.malov@oktetlabs.ru>
Description of rte_eth_dev_get_name_by_port() calls
port ID argument a pointer, which is misleading.
Also, output buffer minimal size is not mentioned.
These points need to be improved.
Fixes: bde516d5a85a ("ethdev: get port by name")
