Checks
Commit Message
From: Jerin Jacob <jerinj@marvell.com>
The LiquidIO product line(drivers/net/liquidio) has been substituted with
CN9K/CN10K OCTEON product line smart NICs located in drivers/net/octeon_ep/.
DPDK v20.08 has categorized the LiquidIO driver as UNMAINTAINED
because of the absence of updates in the driver.
Due to the above reasons, the driver will be unavailable from DPDK 23.07.
