From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Date: Mon, 4 Jul 2016 19:06:57 +0000 (-0300) Subject: doc-rst: userp: Add ioctl cross references X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a163ad5ceb30d2034b70cda8bdad0aaabdba1614;p=linux-beck.git doc-rst: userp: Add ioctl cross references There are lots of ioctls mentioned there that aren't cross-referenced. Convert the const to cross references. That makes it visually better, and improves navigation along the document. While here, remove bad whitespaces.
