By default systemd will ratelimit the number of times a unit is
started via StartLimitBurst, StartLimitIntervalSec option which defaults
to 5-times/10-sec.

Also the default RestartSec interval is 100ms. So in case of an error
spike and default RestartSec; opal-prd may be restarted too quickly and
will get rate limited thereby missing reported prd errors.

So I would suggest RestartSec=1 and StartLimitIntervalSec=5 so that
opal-prd is restart after about 1 second interval without any rate
limiting.
