Thanks for working to improve the docs build! I do have a couple of
requests, though:

- Use get_maintainer.pl to create a proper list of recipients for your
patches. Neither Mauro nor I should be applying patches to the DRM
subsystem.

- Please work on your subject lines; "fix warning" is rarely useful.
What you have done here is to correct a kerneldoc comment, so the
subject line should say "remove excess parameter in kerneldoc comment"
or some such. Also look at commits in the DRM subsystem and try to
follow their conventions in general.

Those comments apply in similar form to the rest of the patches as well.

Thanks,

jon
