Commit Message

Invoking ./scripts/kernel-doc -none kernel/notifier.c warns:

  kernel/notifier.c:71: warning: Excess function parameter 'returns' description in 'notifier_call_chain'
  kernel/notifier.c:119: warning: Function parameter or member 'v' not described in 'notifier_call_chain_robust'

These two warning are easy to fix, as they are just due to some minor slips
that makes the comment not follow kernel-doc's syntactic expectation.

Fix those minor slips in kernel-doc comments for make W=1 happiness.

Applied as 6.2 material, but I'm kind of wondering why you decided to
send this to me.

Well, kernel/notifier.c is one of those files, with no specific
maintainer and no specific obvious subsystem... so the next patch goes
to the last one touching it ;)

More seriously:

get_maintainer.pl -f kernel/notifier.c does state:

"Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com> (commit_signer:2/3=67%)

Rafael, you took the only two patches in 2022 and carried them forward
to Linus. So, that was my thinking for this minor patch as well; no
deeper thought than that.

If you would not have accepted them, I might have tried Andrew Morton
in a few weeks for the next merge window (v6.3) as a last resort.

Rafael, thanks for picking up this patch.

Lukas
