-MRVL Poll Mode Driver
-======================
-
-The MRVL PMD (librte_pmd_mrvl) provides poll mode driver support
-for the Marvell PPv2 (Packet Processor v2) 1/10 Gbps adapter.
-
-Detailed information about SoCs that use PPv2 can be obtained here:
-
-* https://www.marvell.com/embedded-processors/armada-70xx/
-* https://www.marvell.com/embedded-processors/armada-80xx/
-
-.. Note::
-
-   Due to external dependencies, this driver is disabled by default. It must
-   be enabled manually by setting relevant configuration option manually.
-   Please refer to `Config File Options`_ section for further details.
-
-
-Features
---------
-
-Features of the MRVL PMD are:
-
-- Speed capabilities
-- Link status
-- Queue start/stop
-- MTU update
-- Jumbo frame
-- Promiscuous mode
-- Allmulticast mode
-- Unicast MAC filter
-- Multicast MAC filter
-- RSS hash
-- VLAN filter
-- CRC offload
-- L3 checksum offload
-- L4 checksum offload
-- Packet type parsing
-- Basic stats
-- QoS
-
-
-Limitations
------------
-
-- Number of lcores is limited to 9 by MUSDK internal design. If more lcores
-  need to be allocated, locking will have to be considered. Number of available
-  lcores can be changed via ``MRVL_MUSDK_HIFS_RESERVED`` define in
-  ``mrvl_ethdev.c`` source file.
-
-- Flushing vlans added for filtering is not possible due to MUSDK missing
-  functionality. Current workaround is to reset board so that PPv2 has a
-  chance to start in a sane state.
-
-
-Prerequisites
--------------
-
-- Custom Linux Kernel sources
-
-  .. code-block:: console
-
-     git clone https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/linux-marvell.git -b linux-4.4.52-armada-17.10
-
-- Out of tree `mvpp2x_sysfs` kernel module sources
-
-  .. code-block:: console
-
-     git clone https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/mvpp2x-marvell.git -b mvpp2x-armada-17.10
-
-- MUSDK (Marvell User-Space SDK) sources
-
-  .. code-block:: console
-
-     git clone https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/musdk-marvell.git -b musdk-armada-17.10
-
-  MUSDK is a light-weight library that provides direct access to Marvell's
-  PPv2 (Packet Processor v2). Alternatively prebuilt MUSDK library can be
-  requested from `Marvell Extranet <https://extranet.marvell.com>`_. Once
-  approval has been granted, library can be found by typing ``musdk`` in
-  the search box.
-
-  MUSDK must be configured with the following features:
-
-  .. code-block:: console
-
-     --enable-bpool-dma=64
-
-- DPDK environment
-
-  Follow the DPDK :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux <linux_gsg>` to setup
-  DPDK environment.
-
-
-Config File Options
--------------------
-
-The following options can be modified in the ``config`` file.
-
-- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_MRVL_PMD`` (default ``n``)
-
-    Toggle compilation of the librte_pmd_mrvl driver.
-
-
-QoS Configuration
------------------
-
-QoS configuration is done through external configuration file. Path to the
-file must be given as `cfg` in driver's vdev parameter list.
-
-Configuration syntax
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   [port <portnum> default]
-   default_tc = <default_tc>
-   mapping_priority = <mapping_priority>
-
-   [port <portnum> tc <traffic_class>]
-   rxq = <rx_queue_list>
-   pcp = <pcp_list>
-   dscp = <dscp_list>
-
-   [port <portnum> tc <traffic_class>]
-   rxq = <rx_queue_list>
-   pcp = <pcp_list>
-   dscp = <dscp_list>
-
-Where:
-
-- ``<portnum>``: DPDK Port number (0..n).
-
-- ``<default_tc>``: Default traffic class (e.g. 0)
-
-- ``<mapping_priority>``: QoS priority for mapping (`ip`, `vlan`, `ip/vlan` or `vlan/ip`).
-
-- ``<traffic_class>``: Traffic Class to be configured.
-
-- ``<rx_queue_list>``: List of DPDK RX queues (e.g. 0 1 3-4)
-
-- ``<pcp_list>``: List of PCP values to handle in particular TC (e.g. 0 1 3-4 7).
-
-- ``<dscp_list>``: List of DSCP values to handle in particular TC (e.g. 0-12 32-48 63).
-
-Setting PCP/DSCP values for the default TC is not required. All PCP/DSCP
-values not assigned explicitly to particular TC will be handled by the
-default TC.
-
-Configuration file example
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   [port 0 default]
-   default_tc = 0
-   qos_mode = ip
-
-   [port 0 tc 0]
-   rxq = 0 1
-
-   [port 0 tc 1]
-   rxq = 2
-   pcp = 5 6 7
-   dscp = 26-38
-
-   [port 1 default]
-   default_tc = 0
-   qos_mode = vlan/ip
-
-   [port 1 tc 0]
-   rxq = 0
-
-   [port 1 tc 1]
-   rxq = 1 2
-   pcp = 5 6 7
-   dscp = 26-38
-
-Usage example
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   ./testpmd --vdev=eth_mrvl,iface=eth0,iface=eth2,cfg=/home/user/mrvl.conf \
-     -c 7 -- -i -a --rxq=2
-
-
-Building DPDK
--------------
-
-Driver needs precompiled MUSDK library during compilation.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   export CROSS_COMPILE=<toolchain>/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-
-   ./bootstrap
-   ./configure --host=aarch64-linux-gnu --enable-bpool-dma=64
-   make install
-
-MUSDK will be installed to `usr/local` under current directory.
-For the detailed build instructions please consult ``doc/musdk_get_started.txt``.
-
-Before the DPDK build process the environmental variable ``LIBMUSDK_PATH`` with
-the path to the MUSDK installation directory needs to be exported.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   export LIBMUSDK_PATH=<musdk>/usr/local
-   export CROSS=aarch64-linux-gnu-
-   make config T=arm64-armv8a-linuxapp-gcc
-   sed -ri 's,(MRVL_PMD=)n,\1y,' build/.config
-   make
-
-Usage Example
--------------
-
-MRVL PMD requires extra out of tree kernel modules to function properly.
-`musdk_uio` and `mv_pp_uio` sources are part of the MUSDK. Please consult
-``doc/musdk_get_started.txt`` for the detailed build instructions.
-For `mvpp2x_sysfs` please consult ``Documentation/pp22_sysfs.txt`` for the
-detailed build instructions.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   insmod musdk_uio.ko
-   insmod mv_pp_uio.ko
-   insmod mvpp2x_sysfs.ko
-
-Additionally interfaces used by DPDK application need to be put up:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   ip link set eth0 up
-   ip link set eth2 up
-
-In order to run testpmd example application following command can be used:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   ./testpmd --vdev=eth_mrvl,iface=eth0,iface=eth2 -c 7 -- \
-     --burst=128 --txd=2048 --rxd=1024 --rxq=2 --txq=2  --nb-cores=2 \
-     -i -a --rss-udp
