Subject: docs: kdoc: properly handle empty enum arguments
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d5265f7af2d284d5421b763f268157b5fa72f806;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

docs: kdoc: properly handle empty enum arguments

Depending on how the enum proto is written, a comma at the end
may incorrectly make kernel-doc parse an arg like " ".

Strip spaces before checking if arg is empty.
