| Subject: random: fix sysctl documentation nits |
| |
| 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. |
