[PATCH] hwmon: (peci) Fix kernel-doc parameter names in common.h
Posted by Babanpreet Singh 1 week, 6 days ago
scripts/kernel-doc -Wall -none reports:

  Warning: drivers/hwmon/peci/common.h:39 function parameter 'state' not
  described in 'peci_sensor_need_update'
  Warning: drivers/hwmon/peci/common.h:39 Excess function parameter
  'sensor' description in 'peci_sensor_need_update'
  Warning: drivers/hwmon/peci/common.h:49 function parameter 'state' not
  described in 'peci_sensor_mark_updated'
  Warning: drivers/hwmon/peci/common.h:49 Excess function parameter
  'sensor' description in 'peci_sensor_mark_updated'

Both peci_sensor_need_update() and peci_sensor_mark_updated() take a
pointer to struct peci_sensor_state named 'state', but their kernel-doc
comments document a parameter named 'sensor' and describe it as a
pointer to the sensor data struct. The comments have been out of sync
with the code since the file was added by commit bf3608f338e9 ("hwmon:
peci: Add cputemp driver").

Update the kernel-doc comments to document the 'state' parameter.

No functional change.
