Subject: Re: [PATCH] powerpc/eeh:Fix docstrings in eeh

Hi Kai,

Thank you for your patch! I have 3 very minor tweaks and I am otherwise
very happy with it.

Firstly, in your commit name, there should be a space between
"powerpc/eeh:" and "Fix docstrings". You might also want to say "in
eeh.c" rather than "in eeh" because there is eeh code in a number of
other files too.

I don't think there should be a space between '@...ction' and ':'.

I know the parameter is called 'function' and I think "EEH function" was
a good guess for the docstring. However, if we look at the way
'function' is used, it is compared with EEH_OPT_xxx constants, and then
it's passed to eeh_ops->set_option(), eeh_pci_enable() is also called in
eeh_pe_set_option() with a parameter called 'option'. So I think maybe
'function' should be described as the "EEH option"?

This is still very unsatisfactory but it's not the fault of your patch -
the EEH codebase is very messy and it's worth fixing the W=1 warnings
even if we don't fully clean up the EEH codebase.

This is good.

This is OK.

I think "@ops: platform-specific functions for EEH operations" is
