scripts: kernel-doc: accept blank lines on parameter description
Sphinx is very pedantic with respect to blank lines. Sometimes, in order to make it to properly handle something, we need to add a blank line. However, currently, any blank line inside a kernel-doc comment like: /* * @foo: bar * * foobar * * some description will be considered as if "foobar" was part of the description. This patch changes kernel-doc behavior. After it, foobar will be considered as part of the parameter text. The description will only be considered as such if it starts with: zero spaces after asterisk: *foo one space after asterisk: * foo or have a explicit Description section: * Description: Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/c07d2862792d75a2691d69c9eceb7b89a0164cc0.1586881715.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
