Kernel-doc has always be limited to a probably bad documented
rule:
The kernel-doc markups should appear *imediatelly before* the
function or data structure that it documents.
On other words, if a C file would contain something like this:
/**
* foo - function foo
* @args: foo args
*/
static inline void bar(int args);
/**
* bar - function bar
* @args: foo args
*/
static inline void foo(void *args);
The output (in ReST format) will be:
.. c:function:: void bar (int args)
function foo
**Parameters**
``int args``
foo args
.. c:function:: void foo (void *args)
function bar
**Parameters**
``void *args``
foo args
Which is clearly a wrong result. Before this changeset,
not even a warning is produced on such cases.
As placing such markups just before the documented
data is a common practice, on most cases this is fine.
However, as patches touch things, identifiers may be
renamed, and people may forget to update the kernel-doc
markups to follow such changes.
This has been happening for quite a while, as there are
lots of files with kernel-doc problems.
This series address those issues and add a file at the
end that will enforce that the identifier will match the
kernel-doc markup, avoiding this problem from
keep happening as time goes by.
This series is based on current upstream tree.
@maintainers: feel free to pick the patches and
apply them directly on your trees, as all patches on
this series are independent from the other ones.

v5:
- The completion.h patch was replaced by another one which drops
an obsolete macro;
- Some typos got fixed and review tags got added;
- Dropped patches that were already merged at linux-next.
v4:
- Patches got rebased and got some acks.
