As I understand it, the hardware notes are generated automatically via certain portions of certain manual pages. It looks like that takes the form of &hwlist.; entities in (e.g.) ^/base/head/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/hardware/article.xml, with the hwlist entities being generated by ^/base/head/release/doc/share/misc/man2hwnotes.pl. I don't know offhand whether mlx5en.4 is formatted properly for that script, but it seems that at a minimum, the &hwlist.mlx5en; entity needs to be added to the release notes sources. I've cc'd re@FreeBSD.org, since they have change control over the release notes and would need to make or approve such a change. -Ben
