[PATCH 6/8] of: Fix kerneldoc output formatting

From: Rob Herring
Date: Thu Mar 25 2021 - 12:48:26 EST


The indentation of the kerneldoc comments affects the output formatting.
Leading tabs in particular don't work, and sections need to be indented
under the section header.

The example snippets for DT source in the comments still have some
formatting issues, but there doesn't seem to be any way to do multi-line
literal blocks in kerneldoc.

Cc: Frank Rowand <frowand.list@xxxxxxxxx>
Cc: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@xxxxxxxxxx>
Signed-off-by: Rob Herring <robh@xxxxxxxxxx>
---

Note the dts examples still cause warnings. I couldn't find any way to
do a literal block and fix them. Minimally, there needs to be a way to
escape ':' and not create sections:
