We at NXP are currently working on integrating DPDK over NXP's ARM SoC. 
As the implementation is dependent on rte_driver/device [1] and SoC 
framework [2], my plan is to push base infra out in this week and NXP 
RFC early next week.

Other than above, we are also working on supporting ARM Crypto-extension 
based Cryto drivers.
