> When ifpga_rawdev_create() allocate memory for a new rawdev, the original code
> allocate redundant memory for adapter, which is a member of the rawdev.
> What is actually necessary is the adapter to be initialized, not memory allocated.
> 
> What is different in v3 from v2 is that the adapter is no longer need to be freed.

Should there be a space in your name as "Andy Pei"?

The doxygen format is @param param_name param_description.
It is also important to strictly match the name of the parameter.
@adpdate is a typo (should be @param adapter).

You can build the doc with "make doc-api-html"
and check the result in your browser.
