[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] doc: add deprecation note for rework of PCI in EAL

[Shreyansh Jain]

EAL PCI layer is planned to be restructured in 17.05 to unlink it from
generic structures like eth_driver, rte_cryptodev_driver, and also move
it into a PCI Bus.

   targets release 17.05.
 
-* ``eth_driver`` is planned to be removed in 17.02. This currently serves as
-  a placeholder for PMDs to register themselves. Changes for ``rte_bus`` will
-  provide a way to handle device initialization currently being done in
-  ``eth_driver``.
+* ABI/API changes are planned for 17.05 for PCI subsystem. This is to
+  unlink EAL dependency on PCI and to move PCI devices to a PCI specific
+  bus.

+* ``rte_pci_driver`` is planned to be removed from ``eth_driver`` in 17.05.
+  This is to unlink the ethernet driver from PCI dependencies.
+  Similarly, ``rte_pci_driver`` in planned to be removed from
+  ``rte_cryptodev_driver`` in 17.05.
 
 * In 17.02 ABI changes are planned: the ``rte_eth_dev`` structure will be
   extended with new function pointer ``tx_pkt_prepare`` allowing verification
