I do not understand why this change is needed.


IIRC, our goal was to enable this check by default.
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10030521/
but there are so many warnings.


Meanwhile, this is checked only when W= is given
because 0-day bot tests with W=1 to
block new kerneldoc warnings.

K=1 ?   Do people need to learn this new switch?
