There are files in kernel, which use 'typedef struct' syntax for defining struct. For eg, include/linux/zstd.h, drivers/scsi/megaraid/mega_common.h, etc. However, kernel-doc still does not support it, causing a parsing error. For eg, running scripts/kernel-doc -none on include/linux/zstd.h emits: "error: Cannot parse struct or union!" Add support for parsing it.
