[akpm@linux-foundation.org]

The patch titled
     kernel-doc: allow a little whitespace
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     kernel-doc-allow-a-little-whitespace.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: kernel-doc: allow a little whitespace
From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com>

In kernel-doc syntax, be a little flexible:  allow whitespace between
a function parameter name and the colon that must follow it, such as:
	@pdev : PCI device to unplug

(This allows lots of megaraid kernel-doc to work without tons of
editing.)
