from submitting-patches.rst:

Describe your changes in imperative mood, e.g. "make xyzzy do frotz"
instead of "[This patch] makes xyzzy do frotz" or "[I] changed xyzzy
to do frotz", as if you are giving orders to the codebase to change
its behaviour.

For kernel-doc, the function name should be followed by '-', not ':'.

These last 2 exported functions could use some comments, preferably in
kernel-doc format.
