Tbh im not sure. I've dropped the re-wrapping in v6. Your comment makes sense to
me.

Fixed in v6. Each sentence now starts on a new line.

It is a hard failure. ice_cfg_rl_burst_size() validation failure in 
ice_dev_init() returns -EINVAL, causing the device probe to fail. 
I've updated the documentation text to explicitly state that the 
driver will fail to initialize if an invalid value is provided.

Thanks for the review!
