Sorry I didn't take time to work on the wording.
I think we can make the explanation a bit more precise
with few more updates in the existing lines for this function and
for struct rte_eth_udp_tunnel and enum rte_eth_tunnel_type.
I agree with the idea and would like to propose a v3 for -rc3 integration
if possible.

The ethdev API documentation is not an easy task.
As we are improving it, let's not miss some corners.
