[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] build: don't parse build configs of explicitly disabled drivers

[Darek Stojaczyk]

Even when a PMD was disabled with meson's disable_drivers option
its config file was still being parsed. Some of the PMD configs
attempt to find a library they depend on and parse its header files
with certain assumptions. If the library is found, but it's simply
too old to contain the necessary header files, the meson build
fails and it can only be fixed by either updating that library, or
expanding the meson script for the faulty PMD.

While the latter should be still done for the sake of DPDK quality,
an intermediate solution would be to skip building the faulty PMD
- there's a chance we don't need it. That's what this patch allows.
