Thanks for spotting the mistakes.

Subject: PM: Update kerneldoc comments in drivers/base/power/main.c

The kerneldoc comments in drivers/base/power/main.c are generally
outdated and some of them don't describe the functions very
accurately.  Update them and standardize the format to use spaces
instead of tabs.
