Thanks for the comment.

I will rebase against docs-next. Hadn't realised my tree wasn't
up-to-date.

Upon reviewing that section I see that was intentional indentation and
not some tab/space mix up.

Both will be fixed in v2.

Seems like a fine idea.  The patch doesn't apply, though; can you please
make a version against current docs-next?  (Or against 4.17-rc1 will work
too).

This would appear to have changed the indentation of some of the text?

[PATCH] docs: kernel-parameters.txt: Fix whitespace

2018-04-16 Thread Thymo van Beers 
Some lines used spaces instead of tabs at line start.
This can cause mangled lines in editors due to inconsistency.

Replace spaces for tabs where appropriate.
