Hi,

Ah, thanks! Those should be fixed in the new version of the patch below.

Thanks,

Subject: PM / Hibernate: Update kerneldoc comments in hibernate.c

Some of the kerneldoc comments in kernel/power/hibernate.c are
outdated and some of them don't adhere to the kernel's standards.
Update them and make them look in a consistent way.
