Yeah that's correct. I think for all these it'd be really good if we can
tightly link the rust and C side docs, because we're already struggling to
exactly define the semantics of these on the C side in just one place. It
gets even more fun for those properties/settings that are also exposed as
part of the uapi to userspace.
On the C side I'm just using excessive amounts of kerneldoc links to
hopefully tie it all together enough.
