No idea what happened but suddenly last doc build run started noticing
that this table is malformed. Even tho the patches have been present in
previous builds already and there was no error. Very odd. But the table
does look wonky..

Documentation/networking/ethtool-netlink.rst:2538: ERROR: Malformed table.
Bottom/header table border does not match top border.

====================================  ======  =================================
  ``ETHTOOL_A_PORT_HEADER``             nested  request header
  ``ETHTOOL_A_PORT_ID``                 u32     port id
