USB: document the 'u' flag for usb-storage quirks parameter

2014-09-08T21:33:09+00:00

Commit d24d481b7d36 (usb-storage: Modify and export adjust_quirks so
that it can be used by uas) added the 'u' flag to the quirks module
parameter for usb-storage, but neglected to update the
documentation.  This patch adds the documentation.

Documentation: NFS/RDMA: Document separate Kconfig symbols

2014-09-07T22:21:13+00:00

The NFS/RDMA Kconfig symbol was split into separate options for client
and server in commit 2e8c12e1b765 ("xprtrdma: add separate Kconfig
options for NFSoRDMA client and server support").

Update the documentation to reflect this split.

Documentation: i2c: rename variable "register" to "reg"

2014-09-07T22:21:13+00:00

The example code provided with the i2c device interface documentation
won't compile since it uses the reserved word "register" to name a
variable.

The compiler fails with this error message:

 error: expected identifier or '(' before '=' token
   __u8 register = 0x20; /* Device register to access */
                 ^

Rename the variable "register" to simply "reg" in the example code.

Another couple of typos has been fixed as well.

Documentation: seq_file: Document seq_open_private(), seq_release_private()

2014-09-07T22:21:13+00:00

Despite the fact that these functions have been around for years, they
are little used (only 15 uses in 13 files at the preseht time) even
though many other files use work-arounds to achieve the same result.

By documenting them, hopefully they will become more widely used.
