firewire: core: fix fw_send_request kerneldoc comment
The present inline documentation of the fw_send_request() in-kernel API refers to userland code that is not applicable to kernel drivers at all. Reported-by: Ben Gamari <bgamari.foss@gmail.com> While we are at fixing the whole documentation of fw_send_request(), also improve the rest of firewire-core's kerneldoc comments: - Add a bit of text concerning fw_run_transaction()'s call parameters. - Append () to function names and tab-align parameter descriptions as suggested by the example in Documentation/kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt. - Remove kerneldoc markers from comments on static functions. - Remove outdated parameter descriptions at build_tree().

- * FIXME: Document this function further, in particular the possible

- * RCODE_COMPLETE, internal errors set errno and set rcode to
- * RCODE_SEND_ERROR (which is out of range for standard ieee1394

- * Can not expect the callback to be called before the function
- * returns, though this does happen in some cases (ACK_COMPLETE and
- * errors).
+ * In case of lock requests, specify one of the firewire-core specific %TCODE_
+ * constants instead of %TCODE_LOCK_REQUEST in @tcode.
*
- * The payload is only used for write requests and must not be freed
- * until the callback has been called.
+ * Make sure that the value in @destination_id is not older than the one in
+ * @generation. Otherwise the request is in danger to be sent to a wrong node.

- * @param card the card from which to send the request
- * @param tcode the tcode for this transaction. Do not use
- * TCODE_LOCK_REQUEST directly, instead use TCODE_LOCK_MASK_SWAP
- * etc. to specify tcode and ext_tcode.
- * @param node_id the destination node ID (bus ID and PHY ID concatenated)
- * @param generation the generation for which node_id is valid
- * @param speed the speed to use for sending the request
- * @param offset the 48 bit offset on the destination node
- * @param payload the data payload for the request subaction
- * @param length the length in bytes of the data to read
- * @param callback function to be called when the transaction is completed

* needs to synthesize @destination_id with fw_stream_packet_destination_id().
+ * It will contain tag, channel, and sy data instead of a node ID then.
+ *
+ * The payload buffer at @data is going to be DMA-mapped except in case of
+ * quadlet-sized payload or of local (loopback) requests. Hence make sure that
+ * the buffer complies with the restrictions for DMA-mapped memory. The
+ * @payload must not be freed before the @callback is called.

+ * In case of request types without payload, @data is NULL and @length is 0.

+ * Note some timing corner cases: fw_send_request() may complete much earlier
+ * than when the request packet actually hits the wire. On the other hand,
+ * transaction completion and hence execution of @callback may happen even
+ * before fw_send_request() returns.
