patch 'doc: remove references to obsolete testpmd flag' has been queued to stable release 23.11.7

[Shani Peretz]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 23.11.7

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 04/19/26. 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://github.com/shanipr/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/shanipr/dpdk-stable/commit/944f0201ae6be4f89d80054993544b9ae876376f

Thanks.

Shani

[ upstream commit 29380c93e6d928b5991f1dc4bde181cea452a8a2 ]

references to it in the documentation.
