[PATCH v2 3/8] drm/doc: Add GEM/CMA helpers to kerneldoc

Thierry Reding thierry.reding at gmail.com
Thu Nov 6 07:49:16 PST 2014


From: Thierry Reding <treding at nvidia.com>

Most of the functions already have the beginnings of kerneldoc comments
but are using the wrong opening marker. Use the correct opening marker
and flesh out the comments so that they can be integrated with the DRM
DocBook document.

Signed-off-by: Thierry Reding <treding at nvidia.com>
---
Changes in v2:
- document return value consistently with other source files
- provide better documentation and use-cases for helpers
