It should be passing a pointer. I wrote such fix after a review,
but somehow it ended getting lost. I'll send the fix at v3.

Kernel-doc actually accepts both with or without a blank line. My
personal preference is to place a blank line, because sometimes the
function description plus function name is bigger than one line.
So, it is usually clearer when adding a blank line than doing
something like this (perfectly valid kerneldoc markup):

	/**
	 * long_function_name_foo - Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur
	 * adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore.
	 * @bar: some parameter
	 *  ...

But yeah, kernel-doc documentation example doesn't have a blank
line. So, I'll drop it.
