From: Santosh Shukla Date: Tue, 7 Nov 2017 06:59:32 +0000 (+0530) Subject: doc: add octeontx platform guide X-Git-Tag: spdx-start~841 X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=26cb0a72412fefb9953f4ed2fe265b63df9f12f5;p=dpdk.git doc: add octeontx platform guide This commit adds a section to the docs listing the platform guide for the PMDs. It then adds the octeontx platform guide to the listed platform devices. Patch also removes platform specific duplicate setup information from eventdev/octeontx.rst, nics/octeontx.rst and update to plaform/octeontx.rst.
