I see you missed updating the section "Removed Items"
of the current release notes.

It is failing on octeontx2_dma but should fail on octeontx2_ep in 20.02.

No we have all release notes, and all are generated and published on dpdk.org.

I suggest a simple fix in the old 20.02 release notes:
You can simply remove this line:
	See the :doc:`../rawdevs/octeontx2_ep` for more details on this new PMD.

Or if you want to keep it for completeness,
you can replace the link with a raw text ``rawdevs/octeontx2_ep``.
