Thanks for the guidance

We are trying to provide pkgconfig file for uadk libs
https://github.com/Linaro/uadk/pull/513

And have fixed the x86 local build.
https://github.com/Linaro/uadk/pull/512

Though currently uadk crypto pmd is targeting for ARM,
So add build dependency (dpdk_conf.get('RTE_ARCH_64')) in meson.build

Thanks
