Re: [PATCH] Staging: bcm: DDRInit: fixed issues w/ commenting.

Gary emailed me privately that fixing my comments would be a problem.

1)  Greg complained about your earlier patch where you moved the
comments from this:
	/* comment */
	code();

To this:
	code(); /* comment */

Greg's complaint was not about that you were doing more than one thing
per patch it was that the comment style was better in the original.

2) A lot of newbies have problems with understanding where the line
between doing one thing per patch and doing two things in a patch is.
You are allowed to make *tiny* changes if they are closely related to
the central thrust of the patch.

So in this case the patch would be:

Staging: bcm: DDRInit: fix up some comments

I have removed the C99 comments.  Some comments were bogus so instead of
fixing them, I just deleted them.  I made a few minor grammar, spelling
and white space fixes as well.

It's still one thing which is "fixing comments".

dan carpenter
