+MRVL Crypto Poll Mode Driver
+============================
+
+The MRVL CRYPTO PMD (**librte_crypto_mrvl_pmd**) provides poll mode crypto driver
+support by utilizing MUSDK library, which provides cryptographic operations
+acceleration by using Security Acceleration Engine (EIP197) directly from
+user-space with minimum overhead and high performance.
+
+Features
+--------
+
+MRVL CRYPTO PMD has support for:
+
+* Symmetric crypto
+* Sym operation chaining
+* AES CBC (128)
+* AES CBC (192)
+* AES CBC (256)
+* AES CTR (128)
+* AES CTR (192)
+* AES CTR (256)
+* 3DES CBC
+* 3DES CTR
+* MD5
+* MD5 HMAC
+* SHA1
+* SHA1 HMAC
+* SHA256
+* SHA256 HMAC
+* SHA384
+* SHA384 HMAC
+* SHA512
+* SHA512 HMAC
+* AES GCM (128)
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+* Hardware only supports scenarios where ICV (digest buffer) is placed just
+ after the authenticated data. Other placement will result in error.
+
+* Before running crypto test suite it is advised to increase limit of
+ opened files:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ ulimit -n 20000
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+MRVL CRYPTO PMD driver compilation is disabled by default due to external dependencies.
+Currently there are two driver specific compilation options in
+``config/common_base`` available:
+
+- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_MRVL_CRYPTO`` (default ``n``)
+
+ Toggle compilation of the librte_pmd_mrvl driver.
+
+- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_MRVL_CRYPTO_DEBUG`` (default ``n``)
+
+ Toggle display of debugging messages.
+
+During compilation external MUSDK library, which provides direct access
+to Marvell's EIP197 cryptographic engine, is necessary. Library sources are
+available `here <https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/musdk-marvell/tree/musdk-armada-17.08>`__.
+
+Alternatively, prebuilt library can be downloaded from
+`Marvell Extranet <https://extranet.marvell.com>`_. Once approval has been
+granted, library can be found by typing ``musdk`` in the search box.
+
+For MUSDK library build instructions please refer to ``doc/musdk_get_started.txt``
+in library sources directory.
+
+MUSDK requires out of tree kernel modules to work. Kernel tree needed to build
+them is available
+`here <https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/linux-marvell/tree/linux-4.4.52-armada-17.08>`__.
+
+Initialization
+--------------
+
+After successfully building MRVL CRYPTO PMD, the following modules need to be
+loaded:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ insmod musdk_uio.ko
+ insmod mvpp2x_sysfs.ko
+ insmod mv_pp_uio.ko
+ insmod mv_sam_uio.ko
+ insmod crypto_safexcel.ko
+
+- `musdk_uio.ko`, `mv_pp2_uio.ko` and `mv_sam_uio.ko` are distributed together with MUSDK library.
+- `crypto_safexcel.ko` is an in-kernel module.
+- `mvpp2x_sysfs.ko` can be build from sources available `here <https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/mvpp2x-marvell/tree/mvpp2x-armada-17.08>`__.
+
+The following parameters (all optional) are exported by the driver:
+
+* max_nb_queue_pairs: maximum number of queue pairs in the device (8 by default).
+* max_nb_sessions: maximum number of sessions that can be created (2048 by default).
+* socket_id: socket on which to allocate the device resources on.
+
+l2fwd-crypto example application can be used to verify MRVL CRYPTO PMD
+operation:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./l2fwd-crypto --vdev=net_mrvl,iface=eth0 --vdev=crypto_mrvl -- \
+ --cipher_op ENCRYPT --cipher_algo aes-cbc \
+ --cipher_key 00:01:02:03:04:05:06:07:08:09:0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f \
+ --auth_op GENERATE --auth_algo sha1-hmac \
+ --auth_key 10:11:12:13:14:15:16:17:18:19:1a:1b:1c:1d:1e:1f
+
+Example output:
+
+.. code-block:: console
