[Xueming Li]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 23.11.5

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 08/10/25. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/log/?h=23.11-staging

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/commit/?h=23.11-staging&id=154814d110afc9a240f9d75ed69b81010d74f93b

Subject: [PATCH] doc: remove reference to deprecated --use-device option
Cc: Xueming Li <xuemingl at nvidia.com>

[ upstream commit 674908ce49f875cd3411bedd0d2c45cd73dd7e2f ]

--use-device was replaced with -a / --vdev options in v1.6
with commit cac6d08c8bde ("devargs: replace --use-device option by
--pci-whitelist and --vdev").

It was reintroduced in the doc in v1.8 when the rst documentation
was imported in .rst format.

Fixes: 1ab07743b21b ("doc: getting started guide for linux")
Fixes: dacdbfa45752 ("doc: getting started guide for freebsd")
