After reload irdma and ice mod, check the sysctl setting as below

[root@dell-per740-65 ~]# sysctl -a | grep -E 'accept_ra = .*'
net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_ra = 1
net.ipv6.conf.eno1.accept_ra = 0
net.ipv6.conf.eno2.accept_ra = 1
net.ipv6.conf.eno3.accept_ra = 1
net.ipv6.conf.eno4.accept_ra = 1
net.ipv6.conf.ens1f0.accept_ra = 0
net.ipv6.conf.ens1f1.accept_ra = 0
net.ipv6.conf.ens1f2.accept_ra = 0
net.ipv6.conf.ens1f3.accept_ra = 0
net.ipv6.conf.lo.accept_ra = 1
