Depends on the kind of examples. Code samples or testpmd flow command?
Unless you mean a document that describes individual rte_flow features
supported by each NIC?

Code samples could be added to a new "Programming flow rules" (or something)
section in doc/guide/prog_guide/rte_flow.rst.

Another section about NICs could be added in that documentation as well but
should only contain a short summary for each of them and a link to the
relevant PMD documentation in nics/$PMD.rst (or elsewhere in the DPDK
tree), if any.

If you want to describe individual rte_flow features supported by each NIC,
I think there's no other choice but to create a bunch of
doc/guides/nics/features/rte_flow/*.ini files.
