Dear maintainers, This patch series is inspired by the ongoing discussion in the following thread: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20241111063847.GB23992@xxxxxx/ As part of an effort to modernize the documentation, the first patch in this series converts the relevant document to use kernel-doc comments directly within the source code, replacing the previous method of manually adding documentation. This change will help streamline the documentation workflow and ensure it remains synchronized with the code. I am still getting below errors and wondering if there is a better way to write this patch. /home/ANT.AMAZON.COM/anishkmr/Downloads/linux/Documentation/core-api/dma-api:89: ./mm/dmapool.c:229: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined at core-api/mm-api:224.
