Hi Mauro,

sorry if I'am pedantic, IMHO this is "Coding" style. 

See end of chapter 1:

  Outside of comments, documentation and except in Kconfig, spaces are never
  used for indentation ...

As far as I can see, nearly all of the ASCII markups in the *.txt files use
space for indentation (some mix tabs and spaces). I don't know if 
tab indentation in kernel-doc comments is a good choice.
