From 7850ad5c39a40ae14ab37e030357e2ae8252af2b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Gibson Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2007 16:32:17 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] [POWERPC] Add documentation for the zImage's gunzip convenience functions This patch adds documenting comments to the gunzip convenience functions added in commit ad9d2716cfc1cda5a7e0d7bc0db45e3af8a4adbb. It also removes a stray newline, and an unused global variable.
