kernel-doc doesn't handle bitfields that are specified with symbolic name, e.g. u32 cs_index_mask : SPI_CS_CNT_MAX This results in the following warnings when running `make htmldocs`: include/linux/spi/spi.h:246: warning: Function parameter or struct member 'cs_index_mask:SPI_CS_CNT_MAX' not described in 'spi_device' include/linux/spi/spi.h:246: warning: Excess struct member 'cs_index_mask' description in 'spi_device' Update the regexp for bitfields to accept all word chars, not just digits.
