From: Randy Dunlap Drop leading space of kernel-doc section contents. "Section" data (contents) are split from the section header (e.g., Note: below is a section header: * Note: list_empty on entry does not return true after this, the entry is * in an undefined state. ). Currently the data/contents begins with a space and is left that way, which causes it to look bad when printed (in text mode; see example below), so just remove the leading space. Note: list_empty on entry does not return true after this, the entry is in an undefined state.
