   One solution can be using a fixed size array instead of ``.*MAX.*`` value.
 
-* ethdev: The function ``rte_eth_set_queue_rate_limit`` takes ``rate`` in Mbps.
-  The queue rate is limited to 64 Gbps because declared as ``uint16_t``.
-  The ``rate`` parameter will be modified to ``uint32_t`` in DPDK 22.11
-  so that it can work for more than 64 Gbps.
-
 * ethdev: Since no single PMD supports ``RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_HEADER_SPLIT``
   offload and the ``split_hdr_size`` field in structure ``rte_eth_rxmode``
   to enable per-port header split, they will be removed in DPDK 22.11.
