[PATCH v1 1/1] bitmap: Align documentation between bitmap_gather() and bitmap_scatter()

From: Andy Shevchenko
Date: Mon Feb 03 2025 - 07:22:21 EST


First of all, the bitmap_scatter() mistakenly refers to itself for
detailed explanation about the relationships of two. Instead of simply
fixing this, align text in both making a cross-reference.

Fixes: de5f84338970 ("lib/bitmap: Introduce bitmap_scatter() and bitmap_gather() helpers")
