Hi Andy,

Thanks for the review.

My bad. Yes I would remove the blank line here. This is picked up as warning
from kernel-doc too.

The file math.h is not rendered as part of kernel-doc right now. I can put
this under Documentation/core-api/kernel-api.rst perhaps I can create a new
section as below:

Rounding, absolute diff and 32bit division macros
-------------------------------------------------

under the section:
CRC and Math Functions in Linux

===============================

is that okay ?

Yes, except the aforementioned blank line.
