[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v8 2/3] build: use Python pmdinfogen

[Thomas Monjalon]

This is now the right timeframe to introduce this change
with the new Python module dependency.
Unfortunately, the ABI check is returning an issue:

'const char mlx5_common_pci_pmd_info[62]' was changed
to 'const char mlx5_common_pci_pmd_info[60]' at rte_common_mlx5.pmd.c

You can use "is_windows".

This requirement is missing in doc/guides/freebsd_gsg/build_dpdk.rst

This could be in patch 3 (removing the code).
