Hmm... It would be a way better to just do something like the
above patch, specially since a conf_lint.py could have the
modified conf_nitpick.py, and avoiding touching at the
tree. The need of making a patch to use it, touching at the
building system prevents it to be called for every applied
patch that would touch on a documented header file.

I used the above to detect some cut-and-paste issues with some
documentation.

Yet, from what I saw, the parsers of lint still need some work,
as it didn't parse some stuff at the media headers that seem ok.

The new parser seems to have some bugs, like those:

$ kernel-lintdoc include/media/v4l2-ctrls.h
include/media/v4l2-ctrls.h:106 :WARN: typedef of function pointer not marked as typdef, use: 'typedef v4l2_ctrl_notify_fnc' in the comment.
...
include/media/v4l2-ctrls.h:605 :WARN: typedef of function pointer not marked as typdef, use: 'typedef v4l2_ctrl_filter' in the comment.
...
include/media/v4l2-ctrls.h:809 [kernel-doc WARN] : can't understand function proto: 'const char * const *v4l2_ctrl_get_menu(u32 id);'
...

in this case, both typedefs were defined. The prototype for
v4l2_ctrl_get_menu() is also valid.

Anyway, it helped to get some real troubles. Thanks!
