[PATCH 3/3] staging: comedi: drivers.c: document exported functions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add missing kernel-doc to the low-level COMEDI driver API functions
exported from "drivers.c" and tart up some of the existing kernel-doc
comments for consistency.
