For the reasons below, we should not have merged the MANA PMD in DPDK 22.11.
We must not assume dependencies until they are upstream.
This is a red flag on the PMD, a revert is possible.
I missed that dependencies are not ready :(
What do you think to update the MAINTAINERS file like following until

They can be updated back in the future when dependencies met.
