[RFC][PATCH 1/7] PM: Update kerneldoc comments in drivers/base/power/main.c

["Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@sisk.pl>]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
Subject: PM: Update kerneldoc comments in drivers/base/power/main.c

The kerneldoc comments in drivers/base/power/main.c are generally
outdated and some of them don't describe the functions very
accurately.  Update them and standardize the format to use spaces
instead of tabs.

Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
