[Anoob] Only the following change is required. Can you send a revised patch with this change?

RTE_PMD_REGISTER_PCI_TABLE(CRYPTODEV_NAME_OCTEONTX_PMD, pci_id_cpt_table);
+RTE_PMD_REGISTER_KMOD_DEP(CRYPTODEV_NAME_OCTEONTX_PMD, "vfio-pci");
 RTE_PMD_REGISTER_CRYPTO_DRIVER(otx_cryptodev_drv, otx_cryptodev_pmd.driver,
