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.

in order, with the member descriptions.
+Nested structs/unions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+It is possible to document nested structs unions, like::
+
+ /**
+ * struct nested_foobar - a struct with nested unions and structs
+ * @arg1: - first argument of anonymous union/anonymous struct
+ * @arg2: - second argument of anonymous union/anonymous struct
+ * @arg3: - third argument of anonymous union/anonymous struct
+ * @arg4: - fourth argument of anonymous union/anonymous struct
+ * @bar.st1.arg1 - first argument of struct st1 on union bar
+ * @bar.st1.arg2 - second argument of struct st1 on union bar
+ * @bar.st2.arg1 - first argument of struct st2 on union bar
+ * @bar.st2.arg2 - second argument of struct st2 on union bar
+ struct nested_foobar {
+ /* Anonymous union/struct*/
+ union {
+ struct {
+ int arg1;
+ int arg2;
+ }
+ struct {
+ void *arg3;
+ int arg4;
+ }
+ }
+ union {
+ struct {
+ int arg1;
+ int arg2;
+ } st1;
+ struct {
+ void *arg1;
+ int arg2;
+ } st2;
+ } bar;
+ };
+
+.. note::
+
+ #) When documenting nested structs or unions, if the struct/union ``foo``
+ is named, the argument ``bar`` inside it should be documented as
+ ``@foo.bar:``
+ #) When the nested struct/union is anonymous, the argument ``bar`` on it
+ should be documented as ``@bar:``
