There are several places within the Kernel tree with nested
structs/unions, like this one:
struct ingenic_cgu_clk_info {
const char *name;
enum {
CGU_CLK_NONE = 0,
CGU_CLK_EXT = BIT(0),
CGU_CLK_PLL = BIT(1),
CGU_CLK_GATE = BIT(2),
CGU_CLK_MUX = BIT(3),
CGU_CLK_MUX_GLITCHFREE = BIT(4),
CGU_CLK_DIV = BIT(5),
CGU_CLK_FIXDIV = BIT(6),
CGU_CLK_CUSTOM = BIT(7),
} type;
int parents[4];
union {
struct ingenic_cgu_pll_info pll;
struct {
struct ingenic_cgu_gate_info gate;
struct ingenic_cgu_mux_info mux;
struct ingenic_cgu_div_info div;
struct ingenic_cgu_fixdiv_info fixdiv;
};
struct ingenic_cgu_custom_info custom;
};
};
Currently, such struct is documented as:
**Definition**
::
struct ingenic_cgu_clk_info {
const char * name;
};
**Members**
``name``
name of the clock
With is obvioulsy wrong. It also generates an error:
drivers/clk/ingenic/cgu.h:169: warning: No description found for parameter 'enum'
However, there's nothing wrong with this kernel-doc markup: everything
is documented there.
It makes sense to document all fields there. So, add a
way for the core to parse those structs.
With this patch, all documented fields will properly generate
documentation.

Jon,
Please let me know what you think about this approach. IMHO, it is a way
better than what we do right now. This is more a proof of concept, as the
patch is not complete.
With it, we can now document both anonymous and named unions/structs.
For named structs, the name of the fields should be in the format:
foo.bar
What's missing on this PoC:
1) I didn't check if @foo.bar: would work, though. Probably the parser
for it should be added to allow this new syntax.
2) I only changed the ReST output to preserve the struct format with
nested fields.
For (2), I'm thinking is we should still have all those output formats for
kernel-doc. IMHO, I would keep just RST (and perhaps man - while we don't
have a "make man" targed working.
Depending on your comments, I'll proceed addressing (1) and (2)
and doing more tests with it.
