Will do.

Subject: [PATCH] perf: Fix alignment in a kerneldoc comment
Commit 6ce77bfd6c ("perf/core: Allow kernel filters on CPU events") added
"nr_file_filters" to the filters structure and its kerneldoc description,
which now requires that other fields' descriptions be padded to the next
tabstop to not look ugly.
