[PATCH v3 1/2] drivers/staging/rtl8192u: drop first comment line

Christian Müller muellerch-privat at web.de
Mon Jul 1 08:27:06 UTC 2019


As stated in coding-styles.rst multiline comments should be structured in a way,
that the actual comment starts on the second line of the commented portion. E.g:

/*
 * Multiline comments
 * should look like
 * this.
 */

However, there is an exception to files in drivers/net/ and net/, where
multiline comments are prefered to look like this:

/* Mutliline comments for
 * drivers/net/ should look
 * like this.
 */

The comments in this file initially looked like the first example.
But since this file is part of a networking driver and thus should
be moved to drivers/net/ one day, this patch adjusts the comments
such that they are fitting to the style imposed for drivers/net/.

 v1 contains the initial patch.

 v2 contains the same patch, but with a different subject to better distinguish
    this patch from the other one in this patch series.

 v3 contains the same patch again, but this time with this changelog appended.
