As warned, /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/fault_ovuv is defined 2 times: Warning: /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/fault_ovuv is defined 2 times: ./Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio-temperature-max31856:14 ./Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio-temperature-max31865:0 The logic with joins the two entries is just places the paragraph for the second entry after the previous one. That could cause more warnings, as the produced ReST may become invalid, as in the case of this specific symbol, which ends with a table: /new_devel/v4l/docs/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio-temperature-max31856:2: WARNING: Malformed table. No bottom table border found or no blank line after table bottom. === ======================================================= '1' The input voltage is negative or greater than VDD.

Address it by adding two blank lines before joining duplicated symbols.
