MANA is a PCI device. It uses IB verbs to access hardware through the
kernel RDMA layer. This patch introduces build environment and basic
device probe functions.

You should add a reference to minimal required version of rdma-core.
Older versions won't work right.
I'm adding a reference to build requirement in doc/guides/nics/mana.rst.
"drivers/net/mana/meson.build" has a build dependency on libmana from
rdma-core. It won't build on older versions of rdma-core.
It is better to add specific version information that has support,
"older/newer" are relative and vague.
