[PATCH] kobject: Fix the kobj_set_name reference in kset_register() kernel-doc

[Karl Mehltretter]

The kernel-doc comment of kset_register() refers to kobj_set_name, which
does not exist. The name is kobject_set_name. Say kobject_set_name.

Applied, thanks!

  Branch: driver-core-testing
  Tree:   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/driver-core/driver-core.git

[1/1] kobject: Fix the kobj_set_name reference in kset_register() kernel-doc
      commit: 3aac49b236c1

      [ Also drop the misplaced braces in "allocated by()". - Danilo ]

The patch will appear in the next linux-next integration (typically within 24
hours on weekdays).

The patch is in the driver-core-testing branch and will be promoted to
driver-core-next after validation.
