Re: [PATCH v2 31/40] docs: PCI: acpi-info.rst: Use ASCII subset instead of UTF-8 alternate symbols

[Bjorn Helgaas]

1) The subject line convention in Documentation/PCI has been
"Documentation: PCI: ...", but that is a little wordy, and if you want
to start a wider convention of "docs: PCI: ..." I'm OK with that.

2) IMO, including the filename ("acpi-info.rst") in the subject is not
really all that interesting.  In fact, I'd be fine with doing this
sort of mechanical conversion with a patch per directory or even a
single patch for *all* of Documentation/.

Yes, this is annoying.  Thanks for doing this.

I noticed a few other anomalies.  If you want to keep this series as
just a mechanical thing and leave the things below for later, I'm OK
with that, too.

Remove one of the spaces at the end of this sentence.  One space is
OK, two is the convention in this file, and three is way too many :)

Remove all the whitespace at the end of this line.
