Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: Aesthetic cleanup of ACPI Kconfig file
Date: Thu, 22 May 2014 09:17:33 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.11.1405220912400.7197@localhost> (raw)
A number of aesthetic (non-functional changes) to Kconfig file:
* grammar/style fixes
* indentation
* add reference to corresponding module names
* update some /sys directory references
