Sure. I will make it look like below.

/**
* iopf_queue_remove_device - Remove producer from fault queue
* @queue: IOPF queue
* @dev: device to remove
*
* Removing a device from an iopf_queue. It's recommended to follow these
* steps when removing a device:
*
* - Disable new PRI reception: Turn off PRI generation in the IOMMU
hardware
* and flush any hardware page request queues. This should be done before
* calling into this helper.
* - Acknowledge all outstanding PRQs to the device: Respond to all
outstanding
* page requests with IOMMU_PAGE_RESP_INVALID, indicating the device
should
* not retry. This helper function handles this.
* - Disable PRI on the device: After calling this helper, the caller could
* then disable PRI on the device.
*
* Calling iopf_queue_remove_device() essentially disassociates the device.
* The fault_param might still exist, but iommu_page_response() will do
* nothing. The device fault parameter reference count has been properly
* passed from iommu_report_device_fault() to the fault handling work, and
* will eventually be released after iommu_page_response().
*/

Best regards,
