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=1232.

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.
