59	We usually follow the names submitted to PCI database: https://admin.pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/14e4 and I did not find usage of keyword Thor / Thor2. BCM575xx(Thor) and BCM576xx(Thor2) are mentioned above as supported NICs, so this section(and use of Thor) seems duplicate and may add confusion. Additionally Thor and Thor2 are two different families. so if "Thor" has to be mentioned, Thor2 also needs to be added for completeness. My recommendation is to drop line#58-59.

We need that line because the entire hardware section appears verbaitm
in the Hardware Release Note. How's this? I also adjusted the document
description to a more similar style as other terabit ethernet drivers.
