I have applied this, thanks.

That said, this change introduced a set of build warnings:

    Documentation/process/kernel-docs.rst:132: WARNING: Field list ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
    Documentation/process/kernel-docs.rst:136: WARNING: Unexpected indentation.
    Documentation/process/kernel-docs.rst:137: WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.

To fix that, I had to do this:

diff --git a/Documentation/process/kernel-docs.rst b/Documentation/process/kernel-docs.rst
index dd911cf09b55..da9527502ef0 100644

Please, be sure to test the docs build before sending patches.

Thanks,
