It seems that it depends on a proprietary library. Please fix the following for merging this series. According to what was discussed in the Technical Board: http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2019-June/135847.html the dependency must be "freely available" to build it either source or binary form. (Prefer in source form) Also, Squash all doc updates to relevant patches.
