[PATCH] thermal: devfreq_cooling: Fix kernel-doc

[Yang Li]

Fix function name in devfreq_cooling.c kernel-doc comment
to remove a warning found by clang(make W=1 LLVM=1).

drivers/thermal/devfreq_cooling.c:479: warning: expecting prototype for
devfreq_cooling_em_register_power(). Prototype was for
devfreq_cooling_em_register() instead.

That compiler warning doesn't come from kernel-doc.  Your diff looks
good (the comment was wrong), but the commit message is curious.

Usually that warning is from when the function prototype does not
exist for a function with extern linkage.  It looks like that's always
provided though in include/linux/devfreq_cooling.h.  Can you share a
link to the original report?

No, this is indeed kernel-doc complaining. Clang should not even be 
mentioned in the commit message:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/scripts/kernel-doc?h=v5.13-rc5#n1228

The warning could probably be improved to say "definition" instead of 
"prototype" in certain cases but *shrugs*.

This warning is similar to -Wmissing-prototypes from clang but refers to 
the fact that the comment claims it is documenting one function but it 
is really documenting another.

Cheers,
Nathan

Ah, good find. In that case I'd be happy to sign off on a V2 that
replaced s/clang(make W=1 LLVM=1)/kernel-doc/.
