[PATCH v2 1/8] ABI: stable/sysfs-module: better document modules

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab
Date: Tue Sep 14 2021 - 10:55:31 EST


Instead of placing almost everything there as a text, use
the proper What: for each component of the ABI.

This allows it to be better documented and parsed by
get_abi.pl.

While here, use wildcards for MODULENAME.
