[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/2] doc: update Mellanox supported OFED version

[Tom Barbette]

A bit of an old thread, but I just tried to update the OFED 4.5 as this 
doc patch suggests and DPDK (19.02 or master) do not compile anymore for 
mlx5?

Was the doc updated too soon or should I do something special to clean 
4.4 and update 4.5?

I did install the OFED with --upsteam-libs and --dpdk (4.4 works fine).

Error sample:
