Right, it has not been upstreamed. Currently, it is even deprecated at
6WIND for our new releases.
www.6wind.com/products/6windgate/6windgate-platfoarm-support/
see the NIC section.

I guess you are referring to:
https://docs.broadcom.com/docs/12356248
This PMD is deprecated. We kept it only for old DPDK releases because it
relies on some specific SDK from Emulex/Skyhawk's designers! The PMD
without the SDK is useless.

In fact, the best option is to use AF_XDP PMD if you need to support
this Emulex/SkyhawkNIC. Please, give a try to this AF_XDP PMD. Your
benchmarks will be welcomed. I guess it is better to invest time in
improving AF_XDP PMD,
