When building the 80211 DocBook, scripts/kernel-doc reports the following type
of warnings:
Warning(include/net/cfg80211.h:334): No description found for return value of 'cfg80211_get_chandef_type'
These warnings are only reported when scripts/kernel-doc runs in verbose mode.
Fix:
In comments, use "Return:" to describe function return values.
