From: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@xxxxxxxxxx> This is to avoid tripping up kernel-doc which filters it out before but not after the name. Fixes: ./include/linux/iio/iio.h:628: warning: Function parameter or struct member '__private' not described in 'iio_dev' ./include/linux/iio/iio.h:628: warning: Excess struct member 'priv' description in 'iio_dev' Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@xxxxxxxxxx> --- The alternative is tweak kernel-doc. Given it was inconsistent with the other __private entry anyway I decided to do it like this. Not already applied and pushed out to squash the issue in linux-next. include/linux/iio/iio.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/include/linux/iio/iio.h b/include/linux/iio/iio.h index 59c58f455311..3350162f190f 100644 --- a/include/linux/iio/iio.h +++ b/include/linux/iio/iio.h @@ -624,7 +624,7 @@ struct iio_dev { const struct iio_info *info; const struct iio_buffer_setup_ops *setup_ops; - void *priv __private; + void __private *priv; }; int iio_device_id(struct iio_dev *indio_dev); -- 2.46.2
