Try to keep the underscores aligned for the heading doesn't affect the build but for consistency

``-devtype``

Try  putting rte_cryptodev_devices_get() like this --> ``rte_cryptodev_devices_get()``

> +Each qat crypto device has a unique name, in format <pci

And these two  ``<pci> +bdf>_<service>``, e.g. ``0000:41:01.0_qat_sym``.

> +This name can be passed to rte_cryptodev_get_dev_id() to get the
> device_id.

 This also ``rte_cryptodev_get_dev_id()``

> +This is also the format of the slave parameter passed to the crypto scheduler.
