RE: [PATCH] scsi: megaraid_{mm,mbox} init fix for kdump

["Patro, Sumant" <Sumant.Patro@lsi.com>]

Hello Randy,

	At this time I am not trying to modify the function comment
style of existing megaraid_mbox code. For the new function the
description style is in sync with the preexisting code.
	So, I request for the patch to be accepted in its current
submitted form. 

Regards,

Sumant

That (above) should just be:
 * @adapter:  (plus its description; the description there
   doesn't seem to agree with its parameter name).

I haven't looked at the entire source file, but these extra "param"
words should not be there.  kernel-doc syntax is just
  @name: description
