Subject: [PULL] Miscellaneous trivialities
I've been sitting on some trivial patches for a while, and I'd just
like to get them out of the way.
Here is the series:
[1] Docs: Kconfig: For readability, offset modifiers with commas
[2] Docs: Kconfig: Use consistent whitespace indentation
[3] Docs: Kconfig: Clean up the radiotap documentation
[4] Docs: Kconfig: `devlopers' -> `developers'
[5] Docs: Replace `hotplug' with `udev'
[6] DRM: comment: halve -> half
[7] DRM: comment: gdm_proc_lists -> drm_proc_lists
[8] DRM: cleanup: Remove unused `gamma_size'

Merge branch 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
(2013-08-13 16:58:17 -0700)
and they can be pulled from here:

While it is much easier to review the individual commits, a combined
diff is appended to the end of this email in case that is convenient.
Sincerely
