Hi Jiawen,
Thanks for the patch.
Without looking into any detail, a very high level comment is, it is very hard
to review a new PMD (40K+ loc) as a single patch.
Can you please split the patch into multiple patches, which gradually build the
PMD by adding a feature with each patch, starting from an empty skeleton.
Last as few upstreamed PMDs as example:
ionic:

pfe:
https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=6777&state=%2A&archive=both
octeontx2 (one of the good samples I suggest checking):
https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=5302&state=%2A&archive=both
Also you can skip all Makefile build system related changes, since it will be
removed in this release, no need to spend time for it.
Thanks,
ferruh
