As J. Bruce Fields <bfields@xxxxxxxxxxxx> pointed out, kstrto* is
currently lacking kerneldoc comments.
This patch adds kerneldoc comments to common variants of kstrto*:
kstrto(u)l, kstrto(u)ll and kstrto(u)int.
Cc: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Signed-off-by: Eldad Zack <eldad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
---
v2: includes typo fix from Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx>,
added details as suggested by J. Bruce Fields <bfields@xxxxxxxxxxxx>,
added the kstrto* functions to string conversions section in SGML.
