[PATCH 1/2] firmware/memmap: Cleanup

Bernhard Walle bwalle at suse.de
Wed Jul 30 16:12:31 EDT 2008


Various cleanup the drivers/firmware/memmap (after review by AKPM):

    - fix kdoc to conform to the standard
    - move kdoc from header to implementation files
    - remove superfluous WARN_ON() after kmalloc()
    - WARN_ON(x); if (!x) -> if(!WARN_ON(x))
    - improve some comments
