Subject[PATCH v3 1/1] A compact idiom to add code examples in kerneldoc comments.
Date
From: Peter Lister <peter@bikeshed.quignogs.org.uk>

scripts/kernel-doc - When a double colon follows a section heading
(e.g. Example::), write a double colon line to the ReST output to make
the following text (e.g. a code snippet) into a literal block.

drivers/base/platform.c - Changed Example: headings to Example:: to
literalise code snippets as above.

This patch also removes two kerneldoc build warnings:
./drivers/base/platform.c:134: WARNING: Unexpected indentation.
./drivers/base/platform.c:213: WARNING: Unexpected indentation.
