--- Patch [13]: [PATCH 13/13] docs: nvme-multipath: Add FC-NVMe marginal state ---

docs: nvme-multipath: Add FC-NVMe marginal state

This commit adds documentation for a new marginal state in NVMe over Fibre
Channel. It explains how to check and reset this state, and describes its
impact on multipath policies.

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but the underline is 4 characters long while the title is
7 characters. Could this cause a Sphinx warning about the title underline
being too short when building the kernel documentation?

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but it looks like this sentence is missing a terminal
period at the end of the line.

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but reStructuredText usually expects a blank line to
terminate a list. Will omitting a blank line before "To reset a path to
online use:" cause formatting issues or incorrect list rendering in the
generated HTML documentation?
