# Review of DPDK Patch: config/arm: add Marvell CN20k
## ERRORS
None identified.
## WARNINGS
**Missing release notes update**
The patch adds support for a new platform (Marvell CN20k SoC) but does not update the release notes. New drivers, subsystems, or platform support require release notes documentation.
**Suggested fix:**
Add an entry to `doc/guides/rel_notes/release_25_03.rst` (or the current release) under "New Features" or a similar section:
```rst
* **Added support for Marvell CN20k SoC.**
Added cross-compilation configuration for Marvell CN20k SoC based on
ARM Neoverse N3 cores.
```
## INFO
None.
---
## Summary
The patch correctly adds cross-compilation configuration for a new ARM SoC platform. The code changes are straightforward and follow existing patterns in the DPDK ARM configuration:
- Cross-compilation file format matches other ARM platform configs
- SoC configuration structure is consistent with existing entries (cn9k, cn10k)
- Part number `0xd8e` correctly identifies ARM Neoverse N3
- Implementer ID `0x41` is correct for ARM
- The configuration is appropriately simple (no unnecessary complexity)
The only issue is the missing release notes update, which is required for new platform support.
