Hi,

There is a full stop missing before "These ARM ...".

Reformatting the text as follows would looks better in the rendered output:


The bnxt poll mode library (**librte_pmd_bnxt**) implements support for:

* **Broadcom NetXtreme-C(r)/NetXtreme-E(r) BCM5730X and BCM5740X family of
  Ethernet Network Controllers**: These adapters support Standards compliant
  10/25/50Gbps 30MPPS full-duplex throughput.

  Information about the NetXtreme family of adapters can be found in the
  `NetXtreme(r) Brand section
  <https://www.broadcom.com/products/ethernet-communication-and-switching?technology%5B%5D=88>`_
  of the `Broadcom website <http://www.broadcom.com/>`_.
  
* **Broadcom StrataGX(r) BCM5871X Series of Communucations Processors**: These
  ARM based processors target a broad range of networking applications
  including virtual CPE (vCPE) and NFV appliances, 10G service routers and
  gateways, control plane processing for Ethernet switches and network
  attached storage (NAS).

  Information about the StrataGX family of adapters can be found in the
  `StrataGX(r) BCM5871X Series section
  <http://www.broadcom.com/products/enterprise-and-network-processors/processors/bcm58712>`_
  of the `Broadcom website <http://www.broadcom.com/>`_.

P.S. Could you mark the V1 version as "superseded" in PatchWork.

Regards,

John

It isn't worth resubmitting the patchset for this. If you do have to resubmit for other reasons you can make these changes as well.

So:
