From 72fd4a35a824331d7a0f4168d7576502d95d34b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Robert P. J. Day" Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2007 01:45:59 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Numerous fixes to kernel-doc info in source files. A variety of (mostly) innocuous fixes to the embedded kernel-doc content in source files, including: * make multi-line initial descriptions single line * denote some function names, constants and structs as such * change erroneous opening '/*' to '/**' in a few places * reword some text for clarity Signed-off-by: Robert P.
