  From: Wenjing Qiao <wenjing.qiao@intel.com>

Add devargs "flow_parser" for rte flow json parser which
depends on jansson library.

Example:
    -a ca:00.0,flow_parser="refpkg.json"

Add json parser for rte flow pattern rules.The cpfl
PMD supports utilizing a JSON config file to translate
rte flow tokens into low level hardware resources.

+- ``flow_parser`` (default ``not enabled``)
+
+  The cpfl PMD supports utilizing a JSON config file to translate rte_flow tokens into
+  low-level hardware resources.
+  Using the ``devargs`` option ``flow_parser`` the user can specify the path
+  of a json file, for example::
+
+    -a ca:00.0,flow_parser="refpkg.json"
+
+  Then the PMD will load json file for device ``ca:00.0``.
+  The parameter is optional.
 
 Driver compilation and testing
 ------------------------------
 
 Refer to the document :doc:`build_and_test` for details.
 
+The jansson library must be installed to use rte_flow.
