Merge branch 'ethtool_docs'
Ben Hutchings says: ==================== ethtool: Improve documentation This series converts most comments in <linux/ethtool.h> into kernel-doc format, and expands them to describe the semantics as well as I understand them. It also fixes some kernel-doc formatting errors. I started on this at Solarflare, but they graciously allowed me to take it away and finish it off. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
