Subject: [PATCH v4 17/29] staging: unisys: visorbus: fix commenting in vbusdevinfo.h
Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2016 17:14:11 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1465420463-24982-18-git-send-email-david.kershner@unisys.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1465420463-24982-1-git-send-email-david.kershner@unisys.com>

From: David Binder <david.binder@unisys.com>

This patch ONLY touches comment lines, i.e., NO executable code is
affected.

* All functions worthy of documenting now use standard kerneldoc
  formatting.
* Multi-line comments were tweaked so as to use appropriate conventions.
* Minor typos were corrected.
