   Due to adoption of C11 atomic builtins, the field ``refcnt_atomic``
   will be replaced with ``refcnt`` of type ``uint16_t`` in DPDK 20.11.
 
-* ethdev: Split the ``struct eth_dev_ops`` struct to hide it as much as possible
-  will be done in 20.11.
-  Currently the ``struct eth_dev_ops`` struct is accessible by the application
-  because some inline functions, like ``rte_eth_tx_descriptor_status()``,
-  access the struct directly.
-  The struct will be separate in two, the ops used by inline functions will be
-  moved next to Rx/Tx burst functions, rest of the ``struct eth_dev_ops`` struct
-  will be moved to header file for drivers to hide it from applications.
-
 * ethdev: the legacy filter API, including
   ``rte_eth_dev_filter_supported()``, ``rte_eth_dev_filter_ctrl()`` as well
   as filter types MACVLAN, ETHERTYPE, FLEXIBLE, SYN, NTUPLE, TUNNEL, FDIR,
