Kerneldoc cannot understand arrays defined like v4l2_frame_symbol_counts. Adding an asterisk to the name does do the trick. Disable the kerneldoc notation for now, it is already ignored: https://docs.kernel.org/search.html?q=v4l2_vp9_frame_symbol_counts include/media/v4l2-vp9.h:144: warning: Excess struct member 'partition' description in 'v4l2_vp9_frame_symbol_counts' include/media/v4l2-vp9.h:144: warning: Excess struct member 'skip' description in 'v4l2_vp9_frame_symbol_counts' include/media/v4l2-vp9.h:144: warning: Excess struct member 'intra_inter' description in 'v4l2_vp9_frame_symbol_counts' include/media/v4l2-vp9.h:144: warning: Excess struct member 'tx32p' description in 'v4l2_vp9_frame_symbol_counts' include/media/v4l2-vp9.h:144: warning: Excess struct member 'tx16p' description in 'v4l2_vp9_frame_symbol_counts' include/media/v4l2-vp9.h:144: warning: Excess struct member 'tx8p' description in 'v4l2_vp9_frame_symbol_counts' include/media/v4l2-vp9.h:144: warning: Excess struct member 'y_mode' description in 'v4l2_vp9_frame_symbol_counts' include/media/v4l2-vp9.h:144: warning: Excess struct member 'uv_mode' description in 'v4l2_vp9_frame_symbol_counts' include/media/v4l2-vp9.h:144: warning: Excess struct member 'comp' description in 'v4l2_vp9_frame_symbol_counts' include/media/v4l2-vp9.h:144: warning: Excess struct member 'comp_ref' description in 'v4l2_vp9_frame_symbol_counts' include/media/v4l2-vp9.h:144: warning: Excess struct member 'single_ref' description in 'v4l2_vp9_frame_symbol_counts' include/media/v4l2-vp9.h:144: warning: Excess struct member 'mv_mode' description in 'v4l2_vp9_frame_symbol_counts' include/media/v4l2-vp9.h:144: warning: Excess struct member 'filter' description in 'v4l2_vp9_frame_symbol_counts' include/media/v4l2-vp9.h:144: warning: Excess struct member 'mv_joint' description in 'v4l2_vp9_frame_symbol_counts' include/media/v4l2-vp9.h:144: warning: Excess struct member 'sign' description in 'v4l2_vp9_frame_symbol_counts' include/media/v4l2-vp9.h:144: warning: Excess struct member 'classes' description in 'v4l2_vp9_frame_symbol_counts' include/media/v4l2-vp9.h:144: warning: Excess struct member 'class0' description in 'v4l2_vp9_frame_symbol_counts' include/media/v4l2-vp9.h:144: warning: Excess struct member 'bits' description in 'v4l2_vp9_frame_symbol_counts' include/media/v4l2-vp9.h:144: warning: Excess struct member 'class0_fp' description in 'v4l2_vp9_frame_symbol_counts' include/media/v4l2-vp9.h:144: warning: Excess struct member 'fp' description in 'v4l2_vp9_frame_symbol_counts' include/media/v4l2-vp9.h:144: warning: Excess struct member 'class0_hp' description in 'v4l2_vp9_frame_symbol_counts' include/media/v4l2-vp9.h:144: warning: Excess struct member 'hp' description in 'v4l2_vp9_frame_symbol_counts' Signed-off-by: Ricardo Ribalda <ribalda@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- include/media/v4l2-vp9.h | 6 +++++- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/include/media/v4l2-vp9.h b/include/media/v4l2-vp9.h index 05478ad6d4ab..f0d80273bd61 100644 --- a/include/media/v4l2-vp9.h +++ b/include/media/v4l2-vp9.h @@ -83,7 +83,11 @@ struct v4l2_vp9_frame_context { struct v4l2_vp9_frame_mv_context mv; }; -/** +/* + * NOTE: This is not a kerneldoc, because the (*name) notation confuses the + * parser. + */ +/* * struct v4l2_vp9_frame_symbol_counts - pointers to arrays of symbol counts * * @partition: partition counts. -- 2.43.0.429.g432eaa2c6b-goog
