[PATCH v3 22/38] drm: Fix kerneldoc for drm_mm_scan_remove_block()

Chris Wilson chris at chris-wilson.co.uk
Fri Dec 16 19:25:34 UTC 2016


The nodes must be removed in the *reverse* order. This is correct in the
overview, but backwards in the function description. Whilst here add
Intel's copyright statement and tweak some formatting.
