[merged] seq_buf-fix-kernel-documentation.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: seq_buf: fix kernel documentation
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     seq_buf-fix-kernel-documentation.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com>
Subject: seq_buf: fix kernel documentation
Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2024 17:25:06 +0200

There are plenty of issues with the kernel documentation here:
  - misspelled word "sequence"
  - different style of returned value descriptions
  - missed Return sections
  - unaligned style of ASCII / NUL-terminated / etc
  - wrong function references

Fix all these.
