From 6b46c2b156d052172d73b0ac486898bf993ab70c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Date: Fri, 12 May 2017 08:53:33 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] libata.rst: add c function and struct cross-references Instead of just using text for functions and structs, use the C domain tags, in order to allow cross-referencing with the kernel-doc markups.
