Beware that the CI reported a build failure on this change:


FAILED: [code=2] doc/guides/html

/usr/bin/sphinx-build 25.07.0-rc3
/home/runner/work/dpdk/dpdk/doc/guides
/home/runner/work/dpdk/dpdk/build/doc/guides -a -W

Warning, treated as error:

inconsistent:

Feature not Supported by RX Vector PMD
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
