Hi Marchand,

Tested platform in this document lists all the platforms including CPU, OS and NIC type with SW package version.
We submitted the patch to add our actual tested ice in-tree driver version of E810 NIC in this DPDK release.
I think it should be added here. 
doc/guides/nics/ice.rst is a document for ICE driver introduction. 
The detailed tested platform information should refer to chapter Tested Platforms/Tested NICs in release notes.

And we will make a separate patch to correct typo not relate to ice.

Thank you.
Yuan.
