Hmm. The documentation about wait_for_completion*() used in
mhi_update_channel_state()says below,

"As all variants of wait_for_completion() can (obviously) block for a long
time depending on the nature of the activity they are waiting for, so in
most cases you probably don't want to call this with held mutexes."

Align the comment header properly.
