[dpdk-stable] patch 'bus/pci: remove useless link dependency on ethdev' has been queued to LTS release 18.11.6

[Kevin Traynor]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 18.11.6

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 12/10/19. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable-queue

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable-queue/commit/65d6da1c84cdd75c5d0a2c94d40606d0e7459e96

Thanks.

Kevin.

Subject: [PATCH] bus/pci: remove useless link dependency on ethdev

[ upstream commit c345c7d1acf43b4d30e1ecdd5a8cd3402234a6aa ]

The makefile in drivers/bus/pci specified rte_ethdev as a dependency for
the library. However there are no actual symbols from librte_ethdev used
in librte_bus_pci.

Including librte_ethdev as a dependency only becomes a problem in some
niche cases like when attempting to build the rte_bus_pci library as a
shared object without building the rte_ethdev library.

I specifically ran into this when trying to build the DPDK included as
an SPDK submodule on a FreeBSD machine. I figure that since there are no
real dependencies between the two, we should enable building
librte_bus_pci without librte_ethdev.

Fixes: c752998b5e2e ("pci: introduce library and driver")
