Hardware loop documentation unclear

Created by: Silabs-ArjanB

Chapter 7 PULP Hardware Loop Extensions of the RI5CY User Manual states:

HWLoop body must contain at least 3 instructions

and also

Note that the minimum loop size is two instructions and the last instruction cannot be any jump or branch instruction.

I assume that the following:

Start address of an HWLoop must be aligned

should be:

Start address of an HWLoop must be word aligned

Could you please comment on the minimum loop size and alignment restriction?
