From 6450c8957ee3a8f58191c2ed6c5b71c7b7d1b310 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jani Nikula Date: Thu, 26 May 2016 22:04:42 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] kernel-doc: strip leading blank lines from inline doc comments The inline member markup allows whitespace lines before the actual documentation starts. Strip the leading blank lines. This improves the rst output.
