Yes. it depended on proprietary library owned by NVIDIA now. Not sure Marvell has rights to publish it "freely available". In order to avoid forking this library, better option to make this library as public. Also, it looks like the library itself won't have proper installation procedures that is the reason for conflict as documented here in https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D1232. If that is not an option for other original owner, I think, it should be removed and accept this patch in the true sprint of open source.
