Subject: [PATCH] kernel-doc: allow a little whitespace
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.21-rc1~274^2~295
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=891dcd2f7ab15e2aaad07f6925b3a53fd8d5c02f;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

[PATCH] kernel-doc: allow a little whitespace

In kernel-doc syntax, be a little flexible:  allow whitespace between
a function parameter name and the colon that must follow it, such as:
	@pdev : PCI device to unplug

(This allows lots of megaraid kernel-doc to work without tons of
editing.)
