Markus Heiser 463a0fdc3e kernel-doc parser mishandles declarations split into lines
Reported by Johannes Berg [1].  Problem here: function
process_proto_type() concatenates the striped lines of declaration
without any whitespace. A one-liner of::

 struct something {
       struct foo
       bar;
       };

has to be::

 struct something {struct foo bar;};

Without the patching process_proto_type(), the result missed the space
between 'foo' and 'bar'::

 struct something {struct foobar;};

Bugfix of process_proto_type() brings next error when blank lines
between enum declaration::

 warning: Enum value ' ' not described in enum 'foo'

Problem here: dump_enum() does not strip leading whitespaces from
the concatenated string (with the new additional space from
process_proto_type).

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
