[PATCH v3] Documentation/core-api: min_heap: remove documented but unimplemented min_heap_empty()
Posted by Jyun-An Chen 3 days, 4 hours ago
min_heap_empty()/min_heap_empty_inline() are documented as part of
the Min Heap API, but no such functions or macros exist in
include/linux/min_heap.h or lib/min_heap.c. Remove the stale
description instead of adding unused API surface.

I think we can drop the last clause "instead of adding unused API
surface". It reads like unnecessary AI generated text.
