    Subject[PATCH 4.9 176/264] random: fix sysctl documentation nits
    Date
    From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@zx2c4.com>

    commit 069c4ea6871c18bd368f27756e0f91ffb524a788 upstream.

    A semicolon was missing, and the almost-alphabetical-but-not ordering
    was confusing, so regroup these by category instead.
