Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: sysrq: convert to third person
Date: Tue, 29 Jun 2021 17:15:09 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210629141508.52229-1-cengiz@kernel.wtf> (raw)

Two parts of the sysrq documentation have sentences written from a first
person's point of view.

Documentation is generally written from a third person's view in a
formal way.

Convert those senteces to be less personal and generic.
