Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/5] net/fm10k: fix dereference after null check coverity

[Ye Xiaolong <xiaolong.ye@intel.com>]

Hi, Xiao

It's better to have a cover letter for a patch series that contains more than
1 patches, where you can have an overall description of the patchset.

I suggest to describe more details (dereference after null check) about the
issue other than just say general coverity issue.

Minor nit, if i == nb_bufs, above assignment is  meaningless, suggest to move
it after i == nb_bufs check although it doesn't affect the functionality. 
I think it applies for the rest of patches too.
