Hi,

Please don't use ============ underlines for all section levels.
Here is what Documentation/doc-guide/sphinx.rst says:

Specific guidelines for the kernel documentation
------------------------------------------------

Here are some specific guidelines for the kernel documentation:

* Please don't go overboard with reStructuredText markup. Keep it
simple. For the most part the documentation should be plain text with
just enough consistency in formatting that it can be converted to
other formats.

* Please keep the formatting changes minimal when converting existing
documentation to reStructuredText.

* Also update the content, not just the formatting, when converting
documentation.

* Please stick to this order of heading adornments:

1. ``=`` with overline for document title::

==============
Document title
==============

2. ``=`` for chapters::

Chapters
========

3. ``-`` for sections::

Section
-------

4. ``~`` for subsections::

Subsection
~~~~~~~~~~

Although RST doesn't mandate a specific order ("Rather than imposing a fixed
number and order of section title adornment styles, the order enforced will be
the order as encountered."), having the higher levels the same overall makes
it easier to follow the documents.



thanks.
