The problem is that these values are #define constants, but had kerneldoc
comments attached to them as if they were actual struct members.
There are a number of ways we could fix this, but I chose to draw
inspiration from include/uapi/drm/i915_drm.h, which pulls them into the
corresponding kerneldoc comment for the struct member that they are
intended to be used with.
To keep the diff readable, there are a number of things I _didn't_ do in
this patch, but which we should also consider:
- This is pretty good documentation, but it ends up in gpu/driver-uapi,
which is part of subsystem-apis/ when it really ought to display under
userspace-api/ (the "Linux kernel user-space API guide" book of the
documentation).
I agree, it indeed looks like this would make sense, same goes for
gpu/drm-uapi.rst.
@Jani, Sima: Was this intentional? Or can we change it?
- More generally, we might want a warning if include/uapi/ files are
kerneldoc'd outside userspace-api/.
- I'd consider it cleaner if the #defines appeared between the kerneldoc
for the member and the member itself (which is something other DRM-
related UAPI docs do).
- The %IDENTIFIER kerneldoc syntax is intended for "constants", and is
more appropriate in this context than ``IDENTIFIER`` or &IDENTIFIER.
The DRM docs aren't very consistent on this.

Applied to drm-misc-next, thanks!
