Hi all,

After merging the nvmem tree, today's linux-next build (htmldocs)
produced these warnings:

drivers/of/base.c:1228: warning: Function parameter or member 'alias' not described in 'of_alias_from_compatible'
drivers/of/base.c:1228: warning: Excess function parameter 'modalias' description in 'of_alias_from_compatible'

Introduced by commit

  c077ed868e50 ("of: Rename of_modalias_node()")

Cheers,

I failed to update all occurrences of "modalias" in this function. Here
is a diff that you can squash directly with the above mentioned commit.
I can submit it through the mailing list as well, but I believe it's
best to squash that based on the previous conversations (and it does
not matter since you re-send the patches to Greg in the end).

Thanks,
Miquèl
