> Up until DPDK 25.03 'net/*' could be used with meson options
> enable_drivers or disable_drivers to explicitly enable or
> disable all net drivers.
> 
> In DPDK 25.03 commit
> c1d145834f28 ("net/intel: move Intel drivers to a subdirectory")
> moved Intel drivers to 'net/intel/*' and 'net/*' no longer enabled
> or disabled the Intel drivers.
> 
> Expand wildcards handling to include nested drivers.
> e.g. 'net/*' will also enable/disable drivers in 'net/*/*'
> 
> This adds backwards compatibility so that so that 'net/*' will
> continue to enable/disable Intel and any future nested drivers.
