Aditya, I also ran:

git ls-files | xargs ./scripts/kernel-doc -none 2>&1 | tee kernel-doc-output

cat kernel-doc-output | grep "cannot understand function prototype:" |
sed 's/[^:].*:[0-9]*: \(.*\)$/\1/' | sort

and I found another instance of failed parsing function prototypes in
mm/percpu.c:2671:

struct pcpu_alloc_info * __flatten pcpu_build_alloc_info(size_t
reserved_size, size_t dyn_size, size_t atom_size,
pcpu_fc_cpu_distance_fn_t cpu_distance_fn)

Could you address that one in your patch as well?
