Use a switch for improved readability.

This whole section should be refactor to use a switch statement, imo.

Seems like a brittle construct to me. Replace this with a switch statement.

Maybe the introduction of a valid_type() static function would be in 
order? Implemented by means of a (surprise!) switch statement. :)

Could be is_valid_type() and rename valid_name() us_valid_name() in the 
process.

Use in rte_tel_data_add_dict_container() as well.

Have "true" and "false" as #defines, and make a bool_str() helper, which 
returns the (constant) string form.

I know this pattern isn't introduced in this patch, but why is this 
function in the header file?

RTE_ASSERT() wouldn't be more helpful? The input buffer is malformed, 
correct?

Either way, the magic '2' should be a #define.

This looks like cut-and-paste. Merge into one function, parameterized by 
the start and end delimiter.

Well, given the lateness in the release process, if it's a choice between
getting the patches in as-is, vs not getting them in at all, I think having
them in 22.11 is the better choice. While there is cleanup that can be
done, I don't see this patch as making the overall code any worse.

My 2c.

Agreed, it's a good addition to the library, +1 to having it in 22.11
