[PATCH] cpufreq: Improve kerneldoc comments for cpufreq_cpu_get/put()
From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Tue Mar 05 2019 - 05:45:46 EST
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>
Fix the formatting of the cpufreq_cpu_get() and cpufreq_cpu_put()
kerneldoc comments and rework them to be somewhat easier to follow.
