[PATCH 21/37] docs: networking: device drivers: convert dlink/dl2k.txt to ReST
From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab
Date: Fri May 01 2020 - 10:48:37 EST
- add SPDX header;
- mark code blocks and literals as such;
- mark lists as such;
- adjust identation, whitespaces and blank lines where needed;
- add to networking/index.rst.
